He had TP and nut flush draw, so it was one of those unavoidable ones, could have gone either way.

Call and pray he misses the flush, if he has the flush then so be it you still have outs.

As for the set mining debate i must agree with Pab here a great way to gain chips either in cash or tournies.
I will call bets on the flop even if i've missed because implied odds can be huge (unless hitting my set would put a possible flush out) if i hit the turn. Moreso if a pair has flopped because you are more likely to be paid off by trips (obviously this can lead to losing to a bigger FH but very rarely).

It is more important that he does not have a full buy in in front of him, because it means you cannot be stacked, he can be.

Being "stacked" matters not in a cash game - the amount is the same whether it's your whole stack or half of it. I'd want him to have me covered so I can win more.

Am I looking at these things the wrong way?

Maybe I expressed it incorrectly


what I meant was assuming you had your starting chips or higher and he has less than a full table buy in, here $200, then you aren't playing for all your stack whilst set mining

Whilst you might in some circumstances want him to have more than you (such as on a non flushing non straightening board where you hit a set) in others, such as here where he clearly has a made hand or a big draw, you don't want it all at risk

Not important in the big scheme of things, I accept
