Fold bottom set?

Results 1 to 8 of 8

    Default Fold bottom set?

    This is on the B2B network. The players there suck. Their HH's also suck, so it looks like I'll be typing this one out by hand. Can you find a fold here?

    This is my second hand at the table, so no reads....but I find it hard to get solid reads at this site anyway because the players are pretty terrible.

    UTG: jesper--r (106.55)
    CO: 8412KING (67.13)
    SB: UltimateGW (99.00)
    BB: EGMOSE (76.55)

    Cards dealt to UltimateGW: 4 4

    jesper--r raises $3, 8412KING calls $3, UltimateGW calls $3, EGMOSE calls $3. Pot = $12

    Flop: T 8 4

    UltimateGW checks, EGMOSE raises $6, jesper--r raises $6, 8412KING calls $12, UltimateGW raises to $33, EGMOSE calls $33, jesper--r raises $91.55 (and is all-in), 8412KING calls $52.13 (and is all-in), UltimateGW calls $63 and is all-in, EGMOSE calls $40.55 (and is all-in). Pot = $341

    Turn: 2
    River: 3


    Does anyone find a fold here? I'm only behind two hands, TT and 88. Although both are unlikely, the action here screams that a set of 4's might not be good here.....but again, the play here is (at this site) is TERRIBLE. My play here was probably terrible as well, but all of the money got in on the flop with me having a set so I'm okay with it.

    I like to lead the flop but whatever you still got tons of action. I would probably only fold this vs about 5% of the opps I play. Looks fine to me.

    Downswinging holla!
    You mentioned that the players here are terrible, so its likely that you are ahead. Jesper has an overpair, one of the other guys probably has top two, no idea what the other could have. I go broke here too.

    jesper--r shows K K , pair of kings
    8412KING A A , pair of aces
    UltimateGW shows 4 4 , three of a kind fours
    EGMOSE shows T 2 , two-pair tens and twos

    UltimateGW wins $338 from main pot with three of a kind fours

    This is why you reraise AA preflop with others left to act behind you (he still had button, SB and BB), so somebody doesn't stay in and beat your brains in with a set or weird two-pair. WTF is the BB thinking in this hand too? WTF is UTG and CO thinking after a flop like this and so much ridiculous action? I contemplated folding a set here, what were these guys thinking with their over-pairs?

    I'd lead the flop as well. It's fine to occasionally slow-play aces preflop if you're capable of folding a pair after the flop. I wouldn't do it against multiple opponents, though.

    Yeah, I get the slow-playing of Aces deal....but not when I'm going to be facing four-way action. Then I'm re-raising to isolate.

    NH. I fold here about never. I would need a very good read to lay down bottom set. WTF was EGMOSE thinking?!?!
  8. #8
    EGMOSE: "Ehh, I'm behind now......but, ohh man, these guys are going to be FUCKING PISSED when I spike my two-pair on the turn and take all of the moneyz in the middle. MUHAHAHAHA!"

    ...probably something like that.
