hate to fold a set ever..however i can't see him making this move without a flush.

fold... only hand you beat is AhJx

agree.. i would fold

unless you had a better read on him that he was likely a very strong player and capable of making a big bluff like this to represent a flush.. it's an easy fold IMO

Looks like a fold, esp. vs. this villain.

i folded. just wanted to confirm my fold because, well, everyone hates folding sets. i couldn't see him doing this without a flush or set. like mythrilfox said, the very best i could hope for would be for him to have AhJx or KhJx.

what if villain was a 24/21 type player, still a fold?

fold. u can only beat a bluff. no way the 7 helped him other than the flush. If he has A-J, he should have re-raised after flop to see where he stood (definitely not a calling hand). high pair reraises pre-flop and mid-pairs would be a suicide call after flop. I would think you can sleep easily with the fold here. otherwise you are risking your whole stack on the river.
