    Default 5-5-5 = UGH

    Stupid sets. I guess i just don't know how to play them. Here is another hand with a flopped set, and with an opponent AI on the flop, i froze up. Am i making this call?

    Call all day. His line says overpair, probably AA/KK. If he has a straight or a higher set say nh sir.

    If you're scared of getting stacked then move down in stakes.

    Louthie is a total nit so he definately has a set or a straight here. I would probably gamble here and hope he has 44, but I wouldn't mind a fold either against him.
