Default Re: flopped set, unraised pot . . . standard yes?

Fairly brutal fold here. Even if you know he flopped a straight, you are still getting 2.5 to 1 to call and fill up. Add the implied odds when you fill up, and its a must call. Most importantly, you are ahead more often than you're not right now. Rarely in a 1/2 NL will the small blind flop a straight and bet out the pot. I think he turned 2 pair, because he probably reraises the flop with 2 pair if he's affraid of a straight draw. He also could have Q8 or Q4, open-ended and turned top pair. At this level guys push with all sorts of hands. Basicly, this situation is definatly +EV, so you have to be willing to get it in.
