Just curious to get others opinions on this situation...
Player raises before you, you call with a low pair, say 9's or lower.
You flop a set, first to act.. I would check, hope for c bet, then raise. Second to act, player who raises c bets... I would re raise.
Now.. You put your oppenent on nothing else, but a flush draw...
If your were re raised/re re raised in both situations, would you shove all in? (note I am talking about the poss of 4 to a flush on the flop, cash game).
I would personally shove all in, If your behind its just bad luck, but most of the time you are ahead, should you make them pay the max to hit their flush? or just check call/make a bet to build the pot?
Cheers big ears! awaiting your knowledge

when u hav a set and your opponent has flush draw, getting your opponent allin on flop is best for you.but it depends on your opponent to get them allin. best is put a good raise on a wet board, slow playing will lose you money in long term.

It all depends on stacksizes (as in how much you and/or your opponent have behind),without that this question can't be answered. It can also never be for sur ethat your opponent has a flushdraw just by him raising pre and cbetting,he can still have a super wide range other than a flushdraw. If you were to know he has a flushdraw it then depends again if the opponent is good or not. If he's fishy raise big to get it in on the turn,if he is good you could just call flop and raise turn,because a good player will often 2nd barrel a flushdraw.
So yeah in general it depends on factors like stacksizes and what the opponent plays like,if these things vary the hand should play totally different depending on these

A set is a clear favorite against a mere flush draw, so getting the money in is the right play here. If the stacks aren't to big a shove is good here, else another raise is better.
hit a set on the flop...0ne of the strongest hands in holdem....you decide...for me allin straight away...all else is a bad beat...win or lose I played the hand correctly...if I lose ...is simular to losing AA agsinst kk where KK wins. Again in the long run you should win. (bet your playing an ipoker site?)...if you are get used to it.
