Now my main question is whether or not we can play the flop a bit differently. yes, no, maybe so?

anyways; this is what i like to call the freemoney play.


k love u bye

Is this how you'd play a set?
Flop seems fine to me. Very rarely expect to get re-raised by the BB and if we do it'll most likely be a min-raise.
Turn is OK i guess though our IO go WAY down, should either fold here or plan to bluff rivers (which you did) if you know villain can fold QQ+ and that his small bet sizing isn't JJ tryna value-town you.

I think this was pretty well played. BB has < 80 bbs so without looking at him more closely i'd be hesitant to 3-bet the flop and run into a J he can't fold. MP1 would hate life even with KK here, though I do think that when the board doesn't pair on the river your fold equity is even better.

Yeah, I think this is fine. Seems reasonable that we'd flat a flopped set to keep the fish in on what's a pretty dry board. Perhaps we'd raise OTT as the board gets a little more connected, we're still 3-way and we have 150bbs effective to get in with MP1.

Regardless of what we rep though, MP1's river bet really looks like a blocking bet with an overpair fearing the worst a little deep, and is crying out to be raised. uNL regs are getting more sophisticated all the time, but I'd be surprised if he balances his blocker range with inducer bets.
