Please fold the turn.

Remember that I'm getting 11:1 immediate to call the turn with the possibility that he's raising for a free showdown.

None of the people I would call a rock has ever raised for a free showdown. They have always had me drawing dead when some other poor soul has been in the pot and made it to showdown so that I got to see their hand when the action goes anything like this. If you want to be generous you can add AK or KQs to his range of hands, not just sets, so while you have outs, you certainly do not have enough to call.

We have what all of the regulars consider as "The Roc" in our local games. He not only would raise for the free showdown, but occassionally open/raises UTG with 98s, 55 and plays them like they were aces. And then, when he takes the pot after everyone who dared to challenge him at the beginning, mucks, shows, getting more action in the future.

Profitable Rocs cannot play ABC Poker, as they would go broke, or bore themselves to death making 1/2 BB per 1 1/2 hrs [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
