The Details

Blinds: $25-$50
Approximate Stack Sizes: Harry ($32,000), Barry Woods ($13,000), Matt Salsberg ($6,000), Ron ($1,600)

Action: Harry limps in early position and Barry does as well. Matt raises to $300 and Ron makes the call on the button. Harry and Barry both call and the flop comes down 7Club Suit 6Spade Suit 3Spade Suit.

Harry and Barry both check and Matt bets $700. Ron and Harry both fold and Barry raises to $2,100. Matt tanks for a bit before folding pocket tens and Barry scoops the pot with a set of threes.

The Questions

What do you think of Matt’s laydown? Is it as “easy” as the commentator’s suggest? Given Matt’s stack size and the size of the pot, would he have been better off with a smaller, or bigger flop bet? Did Barry cost himself money by playing his set too fast? Do you think he raising to induce a shove or was he raising to price out flush and straight draws?
