Am I Up Against a Set
 

What do we make of this hand? Do we have to assume the villain has a set?

sometimes a set - sometimes a fd that hit the river - sometimes a goofy 2pair - sometimes AK.

Vs the average microdonk tho and a good chunk of mcTAGs the c/c flop c/c turn bet river for close to pot line is a hand that beats TPGK.

Obv there are exceptions but this is almost never a bluff.

Me would assume a completed flush seen he kept cold callin until the third flushcard drops.

Villain played with wrong odds but got there this time.

Any stats reads that would help some.
EDIT: you've shown strenngth in the whole hand and suddenly villain bets out. That says somethin.

A set is just one of many hands which you are behind on this river. I would fold without thinking too much about it.

The way villain passively check called and then led out once the flush card hit - I'd say he has what he's telling you he has - Fold without a doubt
