I'll bite. Raise flop. Wet board, plenty of Ax/Combo draws. Stop being a nit.

geez wtf are you doing everywhere?

i dislike
1. preflop (i dislike this the least)
2. flop
3. turn
4. river

raise the flop,

bet 33% of the pot OTT

and shove the river.

Why bet only 33% OTT? because you are inviting him to draw his hand and get a straight or a flush OTR and get all his chips.
Since you have position over him you can shove OTR and he will happily call, thinking he will get paid off with his gutshot while he was drawing dead

Just going to answer your actual question: Your hand is good in this spot most of the time, unless he has exactly QQ. He can call with a lot of worse hands (if you have the proper image).

This!

What's wrong with pre?

Not the odds to setmine, and definitely shouldn't be setmining if you're going to play your hand like this.

1. Decent regs don't often pay off sets when our hand is face up pre as a mid PP set-mine.

2. We often don't get to see a flop because we get squeezed in this spot a lot of the time.

3. We often won't have position post flop so when we miss our set we won't have the opportunity to bluff raise flops or stab when checked to.

You need to email Stars there is clearly a glitch in your software as it appears you don't have a button that allows you to raise.

Haha, I don't need it, I prefer to play my hands passively to try and counteract the aggression of other players and use it against them. :-D

Why no raise flop?
Why no bet turn?
Why no raise river?

Flop: Not sure if he will call with worse if I raise

Turn: Trying to trap and under rep my hand

River: Standard call with the 7th nuts

I've gotta admit, I definitely didn't expect to see this HH when I read the title and opened the thread.
