A, anything elses is asking for trouble, I put a nice pot bet in here, min 3/4. Against a TAG player I belive he will drop his draw, and if he plays on has set himself or over pair. Against LAG, well im not getting him off his draw, so I will be betting and if the board goes horrid might have to fold if he goes for a re-raise. Im also happy to push AI here, TAG would drop anything outher than set, LAG might call on a draw or over pair.

Bet. We are nearly 200BB deep and want to build a pot with our monster. The limps made a quite big pot preflop, and we want to play for stacks. With our top set we are way ahead of most hands, and even 60/40 against JcTc, the best opponent can have here.

I think we have to bet. We can't allow the bb to get a free shot at a draw, we need info on their hand and we want to build a pot. But the danger I see is that if a club comes on the turn we may have to lose a huge chunk of our stack, which is why I don't like the pot bet (90$ no less) on the flop. I think most players would call with 10cJc, AcKc, Kc10c. But equally they could have KQ or 66 and if we don't bet out strongly on a dangerous turn, they could shove and we have to fold.
So I think we should bet say 40 on the flop and try to get a drawing player to give us chips. If the turn is a blank bet big so their odds of hitting the draw force them to fold and we pick up value on the flop. If the turn is bad, make a strong bet of say 140 so we can represent that the turn hasn't scared us. Otherwise we face a bet/raise on the turn we have to fold. If they have a non-drawing hand such as trips or AQ hopefully they raise on the flop so we know we can trap them.
This is how I feel the hand is right now but it's quite difficult so I may change my mind.

Have to bet pot, since there's aflush draw. the turn will tell the story for the remainde of this hand. Thanks for posting these questions! Always learning something from the Mobsters replies. Good Luck to you All!
definitely option A with a straight and flush draw board....bet like 2/3 of pot or something and hopefully someone tries to come over the top or something..

Hi
Answer C for me. I would slow play this and try to build a monster pot. It seems with all these limpers that not many of your opponents have much idea? They also do not understand starting hand requirements? Slow play and believe in a high pot. Simples?
