Default Re: Scary river...fold the set?

If you are calling this river, I think you should just shove the river yourself. It's very difficult to put you on a straight or a flush given the turn play, and a shove looks very confusing. You will get called by 2 pair a lot in this spot.

I think a blocking bet is really gay in this spot. If he shoves, you are probably beat. If you are having problems folding here, I really doubt you fold getting ~ 4:1.

So... I think the best play is to either shove the river, or c/f. Given that you checked, I guess that makes this a fold.

Isn't the point of a blocking bet to fold to a raise?

It is, but you aren't deep enough to fold to a raise.
