Scary river...fold the set?

[irunnotgood]

I would just push the river. A blocker might be better if stacks were larger but with effective stacks of 114 with 176 in the pot you don't have enough room to maneuver.

The biggest mistake in the hand was that the turn raise was to small.

If you are calling this river, I think you should just shove the river yourself. It's very difficult to put you on a straight or a flush given the turn play, and a shove looks very confusing. You will get called by 2 pair a lot in this spot.

I think a blocking bet is really gay in this spot. If he shoves, you are probably beat. If you are having problems folding here, I really doubt you fold getting ~ 4:1.

So... I think the best play is to either shove the river, or c/f. Given that you checked, I guess that makes this a fold.

Isn't the point of a blocking bet to fold to a raise?

It is, but you aren't deep enough to fold to a raise.
