Set Becomes Bluff Catcher

[jk3a]

Villain is 50/20/2 thru 60 hands. Has def. proven to be a calling station so far, but really have no idea if he can make a big bluff.

Fold really fast

[FGators]

Fold. What was your turn plan if he raised?

I don't mind check/calling the turn and blocking the river/folding to a push unimproved if its a non diamond.

Fold here.

c/c the turn is really bad against this guy and in general in these situations. This is part of your problem. You miss so much value in situations where you have non-nut type hands. For example, I played this hand earlier against a 29/11 thru 40 hands...

You really need to value bet relentlessly against most of the people you play. I hate value stacking myself but realize that I would prob. not be a winner if I wasn't doing that from time to time.


fwiw, i folded in the op, but he said he hand 9c7c in the chat and i was just wondering.
