Default Re: Middle Set Sanity Check

Wow. What a cooler.

FWIW, I don't think I would have laid this down either, but a smaller set, top 2 pair, etc...maybe. There were a couple of key points in your description of him & his actions that told me he had a set of K's.
1. old guy
2. he only bet $10 preflop & didn't reraise OOP (I woulda pushed in this spot!!!) because he was scared of A's.
3. checked top set. not a bad move considering he had 2 more aggressive players behind but nearly all old timers do this every time.

the only question in this hand is preflop really, and I could either way.

you need to push and run better

Sorry if this post seems stupid. Of course I pushed and of course initial raiser instacalled and showed a set of Kings. I guess I'm trying to figure out if there is any other way to play the hand or if it is foregone conclusion that you lose your money with set of queens there.

Is it possible to just call the $140 push by kid, who I knew I had smoked, to see what initial raiser does and then consider salvaging your last $130 or so if initial raiser then pushes? Or would this just be dumb dumb dumb?

Yes, you lose your stack here 100% of the time unless you read souls and know that he has KK. There are 3 combinations of hands that have you crushed and a billion that you are ass raping. Just calling on the flop for more than half your stack doesn't accomplish anything imo. What're you looking for on the turn besides quads?

Being unwilling to get it allin on this flop given your reads is a giant leak!

This was a very nice results orientated post.
