Top set facing shuv on straight board?
 

again player has only just sat down... is this an easy pass is he ever just doing this with 2 pair or a lower set?? or a stone cold bluff?? I think I shud fold but I just have trouble believing anyone would play a straight like this as im insta mucking a hand like Aces.

Looks like a straight to me. BB possibly call pf with 65. 8 on turn was bad for you. This is a strong bet on turn. As far as folding or calling. Well hard to let got of a set but it really depends on your reads of him. Does he tend to play low suited cards? Does he defend BB with these types of hands?

oh this is my very very first post.

seriously? I come from an sng background, and people overbet bluff all in like this all the time because people will "instamuck aces."

id be interested to see someone stove it, i think with the ten outs we have vs. a straight and a really strong possibility of a bluff I can find a call here

Re: Top set facing shuv on straight board?
 

I raise more on the flop.

Re: Top set facing shuv on straight board?
 

Fold. All you'll beat here is 2 pair and thats unlikely the way hes played it.

What do you mean very insightful? You want me to teach you hand rankings? A straight beats 3 of a kind, also known as a set or trips. He overbets all in on a 4 straight board and you have 3 of a kind, what do you think is the right move? On a side note, these arent SNG's. Unknowns dont just make these huge bluffs, you need a very solid read before you can even consider calling this.
