I REALLY don't like folding...especially sets.

[loosbastard]

I usually hate these types of posts, but I figured I'd post it anyways.

Villain is 17/9/2.25 over like 100 hands. No other reads on his post-flop play. I'm playing solidish 20/16 poker.

shove already

[pineapple888]

Shove is completely standard. Set over set sux but you can't get away here.

[ikestoys]

yeah don't fold

[Dr_Doctr]

There isn't anything on the board that beats you but a set so there's no way you can fold here. He could easily have a random two-pair or a flush draw or air in order of likelihood.

[Briman51]

Why can he not get away here? Does anything other than set over set make sense?

[Dr_Doctr]

Well, T8 - didn't notice the pf raise

Random two pair? is he playing T8? The only hand that makes sense and you can beat here is JJ. Which is still a very unlikely hand.

[Briman51]

T8 is so unlikely because of the preflop action. He's quite tight and tight players don't tend to call with this T8 in the small blind unless it's just completing the blind.

Yeah, sorry about that - misread the hand the first time. I still don't think it's a fold though.
