HH - How not to play Flopped Top Set!!!

Ste05 · 2005-10-14 22:01:04

I think this hand is a perfect example of how implied odds can make so much money, although I'd like opinions about this river play, the only reason I called these bets was for the implied odds, As far as I can see I risked $2 to have a potential win of $90. Although I'd like opinions about the River, I know it worked out…

Although I'd like opinions about the River, I know it worked out well, but should I have checked it?? I thought leading out was the best way to get all his money into the middle, but he could have had nothing and I might have negated any implied odds by leading out, should I have let the other limper make a steal bet......thoughts, ???
