How to spot a set? (and save your stack)

I seem to lose my stack with TPTK against a set quite often. I have TPTK and some one slow-plays their set and I lose my stack!

How do you spot a set?

I read this article in the forums...but didn't really help me.

What would have been the appropriate action on the river? C/C or C/F river on the completed flush draw.

How would you have played the hand from beginning to end?

river b/c is awful.

So many weaktight microfish will call this river with a set, fearing the flush. I applaud this fish's river value-raise.

I don't know w. TPTK hands OOP I've been giving up the lead if I lead the flop and Checking the turn For PC',


You really have no idea w/ your line here, your already feeding the pot, So I don't think he's slow-playing.

does he c/r NFD, or any two D's, floats 44, 66-99, and JJ, Kx, AQ, AJ, JT, QT,

I'm checking the turn here and seeing what villain does... maybe I'm losing value...

b/f b/f b/f

he called the flop with 3rd pair - tagged green for 'Play with always'

i wouldnmt be fussed about getting stacked except for the lol river call.

Wait... 4nl and you don't have $4 at the table? Why?

Guess my b/f b/f b/f line is flawed because how the fuck am I folding river as played? We've got less left behind than the river bet. Not sure where I get away from this. I really don't want to call river but we don't have to catch many worse hands to show a profit. Question is of course are we ever good when he shoves over our river bet?

Sizing is bad imo. Plan the hand before choosing how big to bet. b/f b/f shove is my preferred line.

Bigger flop, bigger turn, shove river

TPTK in a non 3bet pot OOP is not usually played for stacks without a damn good read.

Thing is, if villain insists on calling this down, where do we get away? Are we c/f the turn or river?

I called coz it was 1.25 to win 6.15. I just had to win 1/5 times just in case he is raising with TPTK. Idk, I just wasn't thinking straight...maybe not thinking at all.

@OngBonga In Cake poker, there is no option to auto topup when the stack falls below our 100bb buy-in. It auto rebuys, when the stack falls 10bbs below the original buy in.

@jyms - How would you have gone about playing the hand. The villain is loose aggressive 33/23.

Easy fold on the turn? I don't know, I'm going to be extra careful with top pair hands. Unknown villain.

AA hand is fine. Get this in vs short stacker every time.

Is this a shallow table???

by the time the turn comes here you got around 30bb in , and approx 20 left... I don't see gettin away from this one given the villains c/c on the flop

We should slow down w/ tptk , but what about overpairs & 50bb's???(I'd really like advice on that)..

yes the above hand was a shallow table.

I wouldn't bet out on the river - probably not the turn either.
