Been at this table for less than one round, two obvious fish but no real notes yet, and the guy to my right is a chronic limper. I have enclosed a screenshot so that you can see what HM2 is telling me, but please bear in mind that it shows the stats AFTER this hand which is why I am shown as 17/17/2 despite this being the first hand that I have bet in. I haven't played any hands at this table at this point, so no real table image. My overall stats at 2nl are 13.3 / 8.4 / 1.34 with a 3bet of 4.6%, but only one player here has any previous hands on me and they only have 40 hands on me in total and are not involved in this hand anyway.
So as usual I am looking for constructive advice please on bet sizing, and I have a couple of questions on set mining.
1) Presumably we want to end up all in if we hit a set, because the odds of hitting a set are fairly slim so we need a good pay-off to make it profitable?
2) When you guys talk about having made a note that an opponent is a set miner, do you mean that you have found them mining small pocket pairs? Would you class them as a set miner if they were playing 88 / 99 / TT, for example? Or does set mining refer to a style of play, for example continuing with a medium PP due to implied odds, even though you are probably way behind?
Anyway back to the hand in question, and as you can see the chronic limper has... well, limped! What next, please?
