    I think you could have gotten away from this one. Its really hard to fold a set + the chance of a pairing but the thing is the cards 89T being out make a lot of straight likely because of the types of cards people play. Him calling on the flop suggests a draw and him raising the turn means he hit it. Sure, he could have been an idiot and slowplaying 2 pair for a round, but not many people would push with 2pair into a board like that.

    I would have suspected QJ, not a gutshot, but the fact is it looks like he hit his draw so can you beat the made draw? I know its easier said than done, but its possible to find a fold here.

    It would aslo make it easier for people to comment in an unbiased manner if you delay posting the results.

    This was posted while I was still playing, so I didnt comment more. I specifically posted it after someone asked me to post the hand.

    The villan is a total fish. Calling all in more than once with TPLK or calling two times pot bets on a draw (and hitting ... that was against me) and pushing once with medium pair

    I couldnt lay it down against this player, but this is also a leak of mine. Once I know someone is a bad fish I tend to think they always have a bad hand or are on a draw... And it leads to hands like this...

    yea I feel ya, it gets annoying letting some stupid fish take money from you but i guess thats what keeps the game goin. its a warning sign when a passive chasing fish suddenly stars raising. you're in for some hurt!

    I don't think you considered the possibilities when he raised you. With 89T on the board I fold all day to an All-in.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
