Im starting to think to fold sets sometimes because i have these set under sets on a regular basis. Ive asked if i should be folding these and i always just get told its a cooler....so should i really be worried when i run into set under set about 30 times

No, you just need to eat a pizza. That will make you feel better.

You might want to look up the odds of this happening and then think about how often you are giving things up when you lay down sets.

i havnt been folding em just the past month and a half i have been in about 48 set under sets.......if there not suppose to happen so much i dont see how 2 can happen in 10 minute spans 3 times, it just seems like someone is setting me up or rigging my account and theres nothing i can do but start folding

the only way i'm folding a set is if the board is a 4 flush or is doubly paired and my set is under both those pairs.

So pretty much never, And I refuse to think not folding sets is a leak

Starting to see monsters under the bed is more costly than getting cold decked with a set under a set.

Try to focus harder during these times and not let valid losses lead to spew on other hands.

This hand happened to me last night and this crap has not happened to me to often lately. (knock on wood)

I have no problem with this crap however was this a good call preflop? I didnt put anyone on the 666 but rather maybe the KKK hand.

Two things:
1)Never think about folding set over set, period. Put the concept out of your mind except to aknowledge that it does happen, and you are going to pay off everytime, and that's poker.
2) When it happens, take it like a man, take pride in the fact you aren't whining about the hand like baby.

Panthro · #9 04-12-2007, 01:35 PM

3) never fold a set
IV) always go broke with a set
five) sets are the nuts. arrrrrrr in.

Yes this was an OK call with the effective stack sizes and pot odds you were getting. You just got unlucky is all.
