Villain was new to the table, so no reads. The leader was firing out at pretty much every pot. Villain went all-in very quickly. Is it a bad move to give villain credit for the straight here and lay this down?

Basically never fold top set on the flop

Re: 77, straightening board
 

I do not ever fold this. He could have alot of stuff here other than a st8 actully I think you see a FD w/overs more often than a str8 here.

Re: 77, straightening board
 

Call, you have no reason to think he definitely flopped a straight. Besides, you still have outs to a boat. I'd be more afraid of a minraise, villians at/around this level tend to minraise when they flop a big hand.

Re: 77, straightening board
 

I say just go all in.

Re: 77, straightening board
 

I woulda raised pre-flop especially with 2 people posting in MP and CO and then checking their hand.


Don't fold the flop. Getting it all-in is very good.

Agreed. Typically I'm raising 77+ from blinds otherwise just completing 66 and down. Also I'm never folding top set here.

You're putting Villain on 1 hand? Well basically any combination of 45 suited or not? You have the 2nd nuts right now, and facing draws more often than not, agreed with the snap shove

Re: 77, straightening board
 

I've only played NL25 for a few weeks and have about 25K hands. On 3 or 4 occasions I have faced a similar massive push where I have a set or very strong hand but not the nuts.

I always call and I think I always will but everytime the massive overbet has been the nuts.

The annoying thing is I lost them all. I need to practice my suckouts more.

Re: 77, straightening board
 

Never fold here , well its just my opinion but i prefer a raise of 2$ or more on flop.
u will see the straight a lot of times...but under sets probably make the same move...
Thats why i almost always raise all my PP preflop.
