you can bet .30-.40 here but check is fine too!

on the turn i whould raise for value and protection vs draws if you raise around 1.00 you dont give him the price to call profitable with open ended flush draws etc

Hello cyclist52,

Flop: Just Bet the flop, it's often the case that if nobody shows interest in the pot you can easily even take down it. After even UTG2 Checks it. We still want to protect from overcards.

As played
Turn: Definitely raise it, we need to protect our hand. :) And of course get value. I'd raise ~$1,30. :)

Best regards.


If we get called on the flop with a bet how do we proceed on later streets if we don't hit our set?

Just give it up. :) Check behind. We wont get anymore value from worse hands.

FYI: In fact I did raise almost exactly $1.30 and everyone folded.

TY all for the insight.

Don't be worried about the result. :) At least you made a correct decision and raised for protection.
