Here’s some good news and bad news for you: The bad news is that the odds of you making a set on the flop when playing online poker are pretty slim. The good news is that the odds are just as bad for everyone else. If the flop comes out with a pair in it, you can be fairly sure that nobody has the third card to make the set. Even better, those two cards that nobody hit make it less likely that your online poker opponents have paired any of their other cards. If the flop comes out with a pair in it, the first person to bet into the pot usually takes it home, so it’s a good idea to get your poker online chips in there if you can do it first. If you can act from an early position, place a bet that won’t show your weakness. Usually a bet of about half the pot is a good size to show strength. Any more and your opponents will think that you’re trying too hard to show strength and they’ll smell a bluff, any less and they’ll think that you don’t have any confidence in your hand. More importantly, bet this amount consistently when the flop is paired. If you bet the same amount whether you’ve made a set or not, your opponents won’t know how to play against you.
