Bottom Set on Flop

[Jaded]

Shorthanded Prima rebuy, just been moved to this table and in 4 hands or so, only been one with any real action - jediflight going all-in preflop with 1500 or so, Jukkaa calling with AQ, A on flop for him but 7 on river for jedi. Don't like playing small pairs much, but decided to limp with 44 and this happened... what do I do now? ** Game ID 911102041 starting - 2006-08-26 08:49:11 ** $1,200 GUARANTEE[577300]:Table 16 [Multi Table Hold 'em] (30.00|60.00 No Limit - MTT) Real Money - JadedJ sitting in seat 1 with $5405.00 - petehall sitting in seat 2 with $2235.00 - GamblinGal sitting in seat 3 with $2180.00 - Jukkaa sitting in seat 4 with $7040.00 [Dealer] - jediflight sitting in seat 5 with $3915.00 - kawaking sitting in seat 6 with $5690.00 jediflight posted the small blind - $15.00 kawaking posted the big blind - $30.00 ** Dealing card to JadedJ: 4 of Spades, 4 of Clubs JadedJ called - $30.00 petehall folded GamblinGal called - $30.00 Jukkaa folded jediflight called - $30.00 kawaking checked ** Dealing the flop: Queen of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, 4 of Diamonds jediflight checked kawaking checked

Re: Bottom Set on Flop You've hit your set, have to bet it hard....... Did you see the Devilfish on Poker Night Live? The one thing that I really remember from his interview - he wouldn't play something like 44 pre flop because of the fear of set over set (and knowing you can't get away from it) - he only wants to play hands that can potentially become the nuts...... I presume this is a bad beat story really? That there is either a bigger set or someone hits str8 or flush? Thats the danger of 44 - I play it if I can limp pre flop, but it's the chance you take with this hand.......
