Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5972547, member: 397965"] Preflop If you are going to isolate a limper preflop, you need to go larger than 3,5X especially out of position. When you give him such a good price and position, he is never going to fold anything. However with this particular hand I would prefer to just complete and try to see an almost free flop. Setmining can be really profitable at 2NL, because players will tend to make massive mistakes postflop, and having BB in the hand as well gives you another source of implied odds. Flop This is a really perfect flop, and having bottom set is better than having top or middle set, because then you unblock top pair and second pair. You can go for a check-raise here to get more money in the pot, but when he is this passive preflop, he is probably also very passive postflop. So I prefer to take the safe option and simply continue betting. However I dont like your sizing. You bet 2c into a pot of 16c, and this is just silly. He is never folding a Q, J or draw on the flop, so bet something like 10-12c. Going to small limit the size of the bets, you can get in on the turn and river, so it multiplies throughout the hand. Results Him folding to a 2c bet is fairly crazy, but maybe he misclicked, or he made a bad decision and pre selected "check/fold". In either case he would obviously not have called a larger bet either. But this does not matter. Your goal is not to get paid by every single hand in his range. Your goal is to maximize your total return, and you do that by building a bit pot, when he is strong enough to continue. Your hand also benefits from some protection. You dont want the flop to go check-check or only put in a silly 2c, and then the turn comes a T, and now you end up paying off his K9 or 98, that just made a straight. You want to at least charge him to draw to those 4 outs, so that he is not totally owning you, when he hits them. [/QUOTE]
