I have set issues

[notmybeer]

At 100BB I have a real problem folding bottom set, particularly on board where villain could be drawing. When I play deep stack live (200+ bb), it's a lot easier to fold to a $500 raise, but online at only 100bb deep, I find a turn fold for 50bb very difficult.

I'm being killed by set over set 1 - 2 times a session lately and I only play a few hours a day.

I pokerstoved this hand and I'm only slightly ahead on the turn if I have villain's range at AA, TT, KdQd, KdJd, Jd9d, ATo. I'm behind on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

WTF, do I just bail on these hands? It just seems so nitty.

MP is running at 20/11/4 over 100 hands

lol @ folding a set at party 2/4 for 100 BBs

actually, lol @ folding a set for 100 BBs period

[Borned_Luckbox1]

I put him on AA fold flop!!!!!!!

Are you really thinking of folding?????

honestly?

[Hattifnatt]

not getting away from this hand is a big leak.

[Suwalski]

call this, i also think his range is wider than you make it. Furthermore TT and AA is less likely due to pf action.

You're getting unlucky lately with sets, dont go weak/tight because of a few coolers.

[zmigsthatkid]

is this a joke? this hand is the freakin nizzles

[higHstaKesOwneR]

Nooooo.... That's the point. It never even crossed my mind (well maybe for 2 milliseconds, but was quickly tossed).

That hand nearly put me on a massive tilt session. My bottom and middle sets been just crucified lately on what seem to be fairly safe boards (ie. no flushes or apparent str8s).

I just couldn't see this as a leak (I have many others that I know of). I was starting to second guess myself and wanted to hear what 2+2 had to say.

Villain in this hand is running at 70/8/0.4 after 250 hands.
