fold a set short handed???????
1/2 NL (6-max)
two players just sat out on the previous hand so the game is three handed. button: ($185) 22/13 typical tag stats small blind: ($350) 50/8 1AF loose passive player big blind: ($385) HERO HERO dealt: 7c 7s preflop: button min raises to $4, sb calls, HERO calls flop: 7d 6c 5d sb bets $8, HERO raises to $28 (my thought here was that the preflop min raise by the button meant he was very strong or very weak so if he was strong w QQ+ type hands he'd be willing to put in quite a bit here and if weak he'd be folding anyway so i thought i'd try and get him to commit to a big hand -- so this is why i didn't just call and see what the turn brought (is this bad?); and i figured that the small blind was on a draw of some sort but he is pretty passive as mentioned.) anyway button folds and small blind goes all in for $338 more. HERO does what? also let's say for arguements sake HERO has 66 or 55 instead of top set what does he do then? |

Re: fold a set short handed???????
3-bet preflop and note whether or not he folds. This way you know if he's giving you free money any time he minraises from the button/CO.
Call with top set. He could have 66 or 55 or some flushy combo. He might even have 2-pair. It's probably a fold with 55 against a LP player. 66 could go either way but I wouldn't feel bad about calling. |

Re: fold a set short handed???????
when i did it i called the 77 instantly but was concerned i should have thought about it a little more. upon further thought i think the top set is an easy call, but with middle and bottom set it is a little more murky. i think he was passive enough i would have folded 55. but the 66 would be a real toss up imo. i'm pretty sure i would have thought forever on middle set and called.

Re: fold a set short handed???????
well my thoughts were (given that he seemed pretty passive) he could have 66 or 55 or 98 or 43 or two big diamonds. i didn't think he'd play two big diamonds that way given how passive he is so i discounted that quite a bit. so i think a 55 (ie bottom set) would be a difficult call as we are about a 2:1 dog to a straight and a big dog to the other sets. most players would play combo draws this way too i think so i don't know if this is enough to make 55 a clear fold or call but both plays merit some considersation.

Call with any set. Too many big draws out there.
