Villian is 16.3/10.87/3.00 over 92 hands.

This board is just so dry. Does anybody think about folding here?

You call PF hoping that an A comes so you can stack AK - that's what happened. Never fold here.

So you are worried about, exactly AA and 77. Too often villain has AK or AQ or the ilk. I call....

eta: Not to mention the reason you play 22 is to hit your set and stack AK or the like. CALL!

no way am i folding here. he could have AQ+. we are destroying his range.

SirFelixCat · #5 04-18-2007, 11:18 PM

I mean, if villain is a thinking player, he could see this as a non-drawy board as well and think, if hero is raising here, very well could have a set and my AAA gets paid huge here.

But those times are so rare at these stakes that you're just too far ahead of his range to muck. You hit your hand now get paid for it (the vast majority of the time)!

I honestly from playing with this guy thought his range after 3 betting was extremely narrow.

I made the call cause there's the chance of AK and what I thought was quite a small chance of AQ. But I honestly couldn't think of any hands he did that with that I beat besides AK, which he may not even do that with and a very minute chance of AQ.

Dude set over set is just a cooler, plain and simple. You should be happy to get it in here.

Lego05 · #8 04-18-2007, 11:29 PM

Yea I've never thought about folding a set before besides on obv. straight or flush boards. I felt like I was behind here. Could just be the way I'd been running with these low sets.

You would need a read that this opponent specifically would not AI with anything less than a better set here to fold this IMO (and of course, it's hard to find rocks that tight online.)

Isn't this what you dream about when you get pocket pair?
