NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

Table is fishy, (Im talking VPIP's 50+ all around) Villain is 52/19/0.8 and has been running well/showing down good hands and getting paid off by the numerous calling stations at the table to build his stack.

Turn card looks like a lifesaver, until his lead into me, which threw me off a little. What do we do now?

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

The only hand that beats you is 89. He could've hit two pair, a flush draw...Given that you're 200BB deep, I'd probably call and see what he does on the river. Raising isn't horrible though...But it might be ugly. I'd call because I'd want pot control.

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

set vs a fish, if we are in control of the pot we really want to escalate it not diminish it. Raise it up to 65-70.

With so many possible scare cards for the river, would you not consider a raise here to possibly protect against flushes/straights, or at least get the money in before one of these cards could scare away some action?

Because there are a significant more drawing hands/two pair hands than anything else? Yeah, I see it.

guy will prob felt as weak as TQ.

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

Ok, so I decide to raise (too little?), and he Insta-shoves. Are we ahead enough times here to call this, or is this a fold?

me to and originally raise it up

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

plus do you really think he called preflop with 89, think AJs (clubs) is much more likely. I think he has 2 pair, or a pair and a draw thats my gut. What about you guys?

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

looooooool, of course he could have called 89 preflop.

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

i would love to be in this spot op

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

Play for stack against a big big donk.

Set here is the mega f***ing nuts for me... Insta call. If he got the str8, nh sir, next hand plz.

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

My cash would be in the middle so fast..

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

if you're facing trouble, it's probably because you're playing on river stars and the river has not been dealt yet.

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

I'd be getting my money in as I think you're ahead more often that not but why has noone considered TT or JJ, surely they are a possibility?

flopped set over set.. sounds like a cooler to me

Re: NL100, Turned a set, facing possible trouble
 

Of course he could have 89 but this guy also probably thinks AJ is the nuts. All in every time.
