I just folded bottom set...NL200.

[UG]

I've never folded a set on a non-scary board like this before but this just "felt right." He checks the flop and reraises the turn? WTF else can he have other than JJJ or 888?

Villian had 88. Should I have gone broke here?

I guess the reason the previous hand was an "insta-fold" for me is because I had just played a hand a few minutes earlier in almost the same fashion. Look at this hand, it really sucks because it should be obvious to the other guy what I had (he put me on a heart draw, lol).

i go broke there. only stupid people slowplay sets on that board, and since hes stupid he could be playing lots of hands that you beat the same way.

I would think that most decent players wouldn't slowplay a set on a draw heavy board like that. I would not worry about a higher set with 1 buyin on the table and I would three bet the turn and hope to get it all in.

"only stupid people slowplay sets on that board"

"I would think most decent players wouldn't..."


Not everybody is smart like us. I asked him about twenty hands later and he said he flopped an 888 set. I told him I turned 333 and he told me "there's no way you folded that, bullshit."

But I did.
