I call in this spot and hope to dodge the diamonds. You will see an over-set some proportion of the time, but not often enough to warrant a fold. GL.

in a re raised pot in a live game with a flush draw out, it is the nuts

I was trying to figure out what the question was. I kept looking for a big stack behind you that had still to play, or some real reason that you wouldn't race to put your chips in the middle.

Nope, not there. If you have trouble calling 50-odd BBs (since you said this game plays like a 2-5 game) with a set against an uber fish and a LAG, then you need to go back to limit poker.

oh i had no trouble calling after i thought about it, I just wanted to see what other peopl would do in this situation, I was actually debating for a while if 2 people could have a draw here or the LAG had an over pair. I wasn't really going on either of them had a bigger set, but then again~

First time playing live? 5-10 is pretty much the minimum raise live. Youll usually see 10-20 in a 1-2 game in AC

preflop is 'meh' i would prefer folding.

to OP. what kind of flop were you hoping for when you play 22 in a 3-bet pot... A22????
