Alright, so i don't have any reads on this guy from earlier but this is screaming QQ, can I fold this?

Never, ever, never, ever, never, ever, never.

I am never folding this on the flop. Can you say for sure that opp would never play AA, KK, AQ, KQ or 44 like this?

No, no, for the love of god no. You want to be all-in here. If he has a higher set, reload. If you start convincing yourself you know when to fold sets to over sets you are going to make the dumbest laydowns in history and get bluffed off monsters. Folding here so so so so -EV

LOL. One hand beats you, and it's likely this hand doesn't jam the flop. Stack off.

effectivly 100bbs deep you dont fold sets without a possible flush/straight draw being on.

Is folding sets the cool thing to do? I would think it would not be -ev if you never folded a set at the lower limits on the flop.

Yeah I understand you shouldn't fold sets on the flop but is it just me or is it reaalllly obvious he has QQ? He wouldn't c/r with AQ or KQ, he would have bet more with AA or KK preflop and wouldn't c/r that either. I mean I was about 75% certain he would flip over QQ when I pushed and he did. 20/20 hindsight maybe but I just couldn't bring myself to fold.
