Actually...I just dloaded ace hud. what do that stats mean. that would sway my decision

I think he would play this way with TPTK, a set, a made straight, two pair or a strong draw. He probably would have raised about 18% of his hands from the button with an overall PFR of 12. That eliminates him limping with A9, A8 etc. He would have raised pairs 6 or higher so he probably doesn't have a set. He has no reason not to beleive you have a hand so I think he has a made hand but is worried about redraws. Or a combo draw that you are a coin flip or small favorite against. I would probably fold.

Voluntary Put $ Into Pot, Pre flop raise, post flop aggression ( calls/bets+raises). This guy is loose and aggressive.

this is mostly a set, a str8 or a str8+flush draw
fold

Looks like a flopped baby st8 to me. I think we can discard tptk here. Maybe a set, but doesn`t makes much sense given his pf raise stats. He would probably raise PPs on the button.

his range is 57, 86, 89, combo draw, flush draw +2 overs.

Maybe I`m a chicken, but I think I fold here. Best we can hope for is a coinflip.

Have you seen him limping with PPs ? Set is not very likely IMO.

Thanks for the input. I've only been playing NL for a couple months. Until a couple weeks ago I would have called this with TPGK or overpair. Easy fold now. But I still have trouble letting go a hand that's beats one pair. Would you guys fold a set here?

Villain had T7o for the str8. Good reads.

I would not fold a set here, your only behind to a bigger set and flopped st8 and still have outs to fill up against the st8. Your a favorite over any draws including OESFD (about coinflip).
