yeah.. that doesnt make much sense, but how often is there a table that wont pay you off.... just bad timing for such a mistake.

[akishore 0]

no, it wasn't bad timing. i knew with complete certainty that i was at an extremely weak/tight table. i was running it over and taking down a sick number of pots uncontested on the flop.i just instinctively and habitually saw the set and immediately hit bet without taking the time to think. right after, i said "fuck" out loud and then i watched them all fold.this really pissed me off. my own clear mistakes tend to anger me much more than a bad beat or losing money.aseem

More than a few bets are won and lost each year on misclicks and hasty decisions.Be happy aseem! You're still a good cardplayer... and there are far worse mistakes to be made in poker than such silliness as "betting top set."

Why no raise preflop Aseem?I personaly like the raise preflop and then bet the flop approach in the above scenario. Imho.

No raise preflop because he is out of position with a hand that does not play well against 2 or 3 other players. A sevenless flop is very difficult to play, and it is not getting good odds to hit the set. Aseem played it perfectly...preflop.Blessings,Posoo

I disagree.77 plays better against 2 than 3..so raise and get BB out.I'd limp with 4 players in already...Am I screwing it up?

Actuary, you want to bet out here, if there is an A out there you stand to make a small mintAseem, meh it happens.

thanks Vade.I guess in Aki's case he lead the betting so it showed "too much strength" and no Ace on board to keep the Ace holders interested. I see the difference. Mine looks like a "well ok, I"ll bet, since I riased pf" kinda bet.

I wouldn't think your screwing up. I just disagree with the line here. I am open to be convinced. I just am not yet.I find the, your out of postion hit a set or fold line way to tight for the above scenario cause I still think it plays well here with a raise. The players are tight which means they fold alot. I hate giving tight players small pots on the flop. They love to fold in smaller pots. I raise because my hand is proabbly best and I want these players to play. I also want the extra money in there so if I discover I am beat I have better drawing out odds too. With 3-4 players any hand I am interested in the BB and SB is proably gonna get raised.Maybe I am nuts. I watched Matusow the other night. I was impressed as hell at when and where he would make his raisses. He was playing short with spirit rock 3-4 handed. Mike would Raise his SB and BB alot he was also more selective of what he was pushing outside the blinds. Someone mentioned postion. I don't see that as being an issue here. Imo.ALL OF THIS VERY MUCH IMO. feel free to throw rocks at me. I just like to spice things up here.
