He had tens, who cares, and I guess tens makes sense as a hand here.

call quick. CO can have overplayed AA/KK a lot, as well as 77, Maybe TT in addition to JT.

Most importantly, you're only calling about 160 to win 340 in what will be the 500 pot. If you know he's got straight, its a call.

I go broke here always.

Yeh, me too. Turns out I was 2:1 favourite, but my new year's resolution is to fold more, and I was sitting there trying to work out what kind of range he'd do this with... and came up with a blank.

Turns out he had TT, which I can live with.

Yeah, you are completely misapplying your new year's resolution. If you folded AA here, fine, that would be a way to live up to your resolution.

But a resolution to never ever ever fold sets would work out better for you if you really think this hand is even remotely a candidate when there are 75 billion two-pair combinations and strong draws and one lower set that could be pushing, and your equity even against the uebernuts of J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is still pretty strong.

Righto. I have folded a set on the flop twice in my life, and I was wrong once, so I don't want you to get the impression that I do this a lot :]

instacall allin...how do you make money by folding sets on drawy boards like this where its so easy for villain to be shoving a variety of combo draws, 2pair hands, overpairs and bottom set, which is a much larger portion of his range than 99 and a made straight

Some of these replies are bordering on the offensive. I DO NOT FOLD SETS. I CALLED IN THIS CASE!
