Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
If you miss your set
If you miss your set but flop an open ended straight draw you may want to stick around. You may not being getting proper pot odds to make the call, but you may have decent implied odds.
If you are lucky enough
If you are lucky enough to flop a set against a large pair or two pair, you can count on a large pot.
