You're a Bunch of Factors

We are fairly deep in a $4.40 8-max on Stars - not far from the bubble. I decide to limp 66 UTG (I know pretty bad!) and flop a set. On a rainbow board I think it is a good opportunity to trap so I call a min bet on the flop then reraise the turn. Unfortunately I get an icky river. I don't have any reads on the particular player of any worth.

trishan09???

Reading over it now...I play pretty bad lol

I'd put him on 8 10 here and fold...but you should've popped the flop, he was BB so could have any range...

Looking back def should have repopped the flop but at the time, in the heat of the moment, you want to get as many chips as you can and I thought trapping was the best idea. What do others think?

Good point, but have to look at it from a protective point of view as well, on that board there are a few cards that could give a person in his position a made hand...forcing you to possibly lose a big chunk of your stack (hard to lay those down).

EDIT: Talking about the flop...

Yeh, you're spot on here. My "in-the-heat-of-the-moment" thinking needs improvement.

It'll improve the more times you get done with these sorts of situations...you do want to clean up when you hit like this, but make them pay when they're behind

Call!

Bang! Half stack gone...

I felt like a retard, used up all my time and did call in the end. I will give results later.
