hello all sorry i have not posted for a while but as the title says this has happened twice recently and I wonder what you all think is the best strategy for this? First occasion: playing in GUKPT main event blinds where 1-200 I had 5000 left and played my pp6 from early pos'n limped in and got 3 two callers the flop came jack high with a another 6 all the cards where spades. I raised to 1000 got called and then the last to act put me all in for the remaining of my stack around 4000, I folded but thinking he had made his flush but it could have been a squeeze play, it is the only time I have ever folded a set and maybe the occasion got to me as it was a big tourney.
Second time happened last night got pp3's blinds were 50-100 i min' raised to 200 UTG (I read an article by Negraneu who recommended doing this to try and halt people coming over the top) got around 5 callers the flop came all clubs but with my set making other 3, I again raised to a 1000, basically I think I don't want another club to come making someones flush and I also want to bet out to see if I come up against opposition they all folded and I took down a nice pot. I just wonder if Im maximising my pay off or would other cc regulars try and slow play this thanks for all the advice again i do appreciate it and I hope i'v explained it all well. I would hope poker orifice would respond as you give good advice cheers the sniper
