Re: Is it ever possible to avoid getting busted by sets?

I've experience and seen this situation all too often. You get AA preflop (woohoo), raise it up 4x standard. Get a caller. Board comes something like 2sTcJc. Its drawy, better bet out big here to chase out the flush and straight drawers.

Your mistake may be this thought right here. You're not trying to chase out draweing hands, you're trying to make them either call a bet incorrectly or fold incorrectly.
Consider. Do you want a hand like KT or J9 to fold? Or do you want to play in a way that gets you paid off?
One mistake that some players make is that they become so shell-shocked from being drawn out that they become fixated on possible draws and seem to forget about the other hands that are in their opponents' hand ranges.

Well said. I usually make about a 3/4PSB bet on the flop here which should get called by TP kind of hands. Then the same problem runs out when u get to showdown, he turns over a set instead.
Im 1 of those players that gets outdrawn till its messing with my mind lol. If i dont take it down before the river, all kinds of scary things start popping up in my head. Oh well i know it shouldnt, but still cant help it.
So it seems like the concensus here is that with the right board and without any detailed read, u HAVE to pay off your oppoents?
