It’s always nice to flop a set, but even more so when it happens in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in a multi-way pot. That’s exactly what happened to me in a hand that is featured in this week’s strategy column.
It happened in the 75/150 level when the player in the hijack opened for 400 and the cutoff called. I looked down at the on the button and called. You always want to call with your small pairs because when you flop a set they’re almost always the best hand and almost always get to the river and/or showdown.
