Re: laying down middle set semideep
If you have a solid read that the opponent is quite passive and tight, this fold seems perfectly fine to me. You've shown a heap of strength by check/raising a bet and call, and he c/r you. His almost min re-raise to $35 screams strength to me, from this type of player you'd probably be looking at something like KK PLUS a flush draw. If you're read is solid enough that he would never do this with bottom set or top two pair (which, even if he was looser he shouldn't), putting you're money in here seems pretty bad. Most likely you're up against a monster and crushed, and if he does have a big draw like AQJT with hearts you're pretty much a coinflip (although that draw isn't that big and in my experience 'tight passive' players don't c/r you with a draw, no matter how big).
