    Default I make a set and everyone goes crazy.

    Villains seem to be your average 50NL players apart from Krebs, who's a noob who keeps buying in short and tries to get it all in with top pair.

    Dealer: Dealing cards
    Dealer: Your cards
    Dealer: rems007 raises $2
    Dealer: Krebs32 calls $2
    Dealer: natavy calls $2
    Dealer: ronki calls $2
    Dealer: Benoso calls $1.75
    Dealer: truecolours folds
    Dealer: Dealing Flop
    :Ts: :Qd:
    Dealer: Benoso checks
    Dealer: rems007 goes All-in $20.22
    Dealer: Krebs32 folds
    Dealer: natavy calls $20.22
    Dealer: ronki goes All-in $28.60
    Dealer: natavy calls $13.98
    Dealer: Benoso goes All-in $34.20

    -Should I be able to find a fold here?
    -What do you think of my line in general?

    True, but set over set happens, and you have 10 outs to outdraw and two streets. That will come in approx 40% of the time, while you have to call $28 to win $93. That's closer to 30%. I call. If he spiked a set of Q then GG......I made a fold on a board like this one time with a set (top set, but a set nonetheless) in a multiway pot, and learned what a bad fold it is. Dont be afraid of the only two hands that beat you (QQ and J9). Consider how far ahead you are of anything else. One of the pushes has to be AA, and another could be KK......

    I made a (slightly tilty) call, held up.

    Hand shown against me were QT, J5spades and another rag Jack.

    I don't think it was a great call though.

    Was a great call, tough call though, and maybe most times you will lose in this situation. I find alot of players calling pushes, or even pushing with OESD's or nut FD's alot lately.

    At 5oNL you can make this call I think. What's really nice is no one reraised which means that it's unlikely anyone has TT or QQ

    The other thing I noticed is NO FULL STACKS!!! Push range becomes that much wider.

    I don't think it was a bad call.

    I also don't see reraises much with TT at $50, do you? QQ, yeah, but people that reraise TT are the exception at $50, I think....

    This would have been the worst fold ever at 50NL. Against all these shorties I'd get it in with TPTK even.

    Top set is an easy call with chance to win + suckout odds. Same goes for middle set although not quite as easy. Bottom set id really want to fold here but im not sure how often I actually could.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
