when do you allow your "internal warning" system take over???

[Irish Mafia]

villain is bamboo6386 - a 22/13 unimaginative straightforward TAG. His cr size (BIG) w/ a player behind him SCREAMED strength. Obviously I still called w/ the intenion to trap HIM. But then on the turn, he bet hard and w/o any thought (instaneously)... my internal alarm, hundreds of thousands of hands played, to my inner core, SCREAMED that he has me beat. but of course I didn't listen! does anyone EVER listen to their internal mechanism here - or do we always say "f*ck it, I has a set, and I ain't folding!"

Of course the action is standard - and OF COURSE i pushed over his bet. Maybe I shouldn't have included the action. I mean, i'm not lying - everything inside of my said "you are beat" (which of course didn't stop me from pushing).

I'm just curious when people let this little detector - that all pros/regs/good players have to a certain extent - take over.

Given his preflop stats he can easily show up with A5s here. Not to mention AK/AQ. Only one higher set is logical given the action, but his range is a lot wider than that. Don't fold.

disagree vehemently. maybe against some donks. but this guy is pretty nitty and unimaginative. don't think he's cr-ing w/ it for one; and two, don't think he's full-potting it after i call the cr.

I didn't fold and i NEVER fold in this situation. Maybe I should've made this a theory post b/c I knew all the responses would be "you have a set, never fold". But i'm telling you based on dynamics, bet-timing and bet-sizing, i really felt like I was behind. whether you think i'm a mental retard is another story - but it IS what I sensed.

[aislephive]

The problem is you can be correct in that you view him as extremely strong, but he can give off the same vibes with A5s, so you can't be sure that you're beat.
