Message: [QUOTE="TheNoob, post: 816494, member: 39108"] Let's say I have A's in the hole and an A falls on the flop, maybe with a 8 and a 4. Pretty good hand. I bet big and, for whatever reason, a player stays with me. Turn is a 9. I still feel good, and I bet pretty hard again and get called. River is a 10. I see the possible straight, but with a set of A's I bet and let's say he just calls. He turns over a J Q. (it's a fanstasy hand that I'm just creating to ask my question) I'm not trying to comment on what a stupid play that would be to make that suck out, or even debate how my betting might have been flawed to help the situation along. Any reason to show your set instead of mucking? Are there situations where you would want the player (and the table) to know what you were playing with? To me, it seems like you would always muck. No reason to give away information. [/QUOTE]
