NL200: Folding sets.

[Van Strummer]

Here are two hands from today where I actually folded sets. Am I playing too weak?

The bigstack villain in this hand is a guy I see a lot at NL200. He is 18/7/1 over 500 hands. I think he is too passive to be a significant winner at this level and earlier this week he berated me for pushing a draw on the flop. Smallstack just sat down.

lol no

[zatacka]

Hand 1. lead 25 dollar, dont fold
Hand 2. Bet pot flop, and bet pot turn call a push

[Paul Thomson]

Cal both. I did some hand reading and really can't see any hands that beat us that play that way.

[bobman0330]

folding sets on non-uber scary boards is like folding KK preflop. It seems like it could be right in theory, but it never is.

[Kilillan]

can't believe you folded the river in hand 1

[nitramee]

Hand two maybe(with reads).Hand one never

[Van Strummer]

You guys do realize villain bets 90 into a dry sidepot in hand 1? He is a passive and thinking player. Would he really do that with anything that can't beat a set of deuces? Smallstack called a bet and a raise on the turn so he probably has at least a K, right?
