    Seem's like stuch a standard fold for me as well. Bells ringing off in my head about a set or even 97. But, if you had seen this hand, which was the one right after it:

    I'm guessing tilt?

    dynamics are different in raised and unraised pots. i like your fold. i think he has a big draw(56hh/8Thh/68hh/9xhh) and combined with the times he has you crushed I think it's a good fold.

    You are a dog to a hand like 9h8h, Th8h, etc, any pair+draw is ahead [albeit slightly], mix in the times he has a set and you are killed.

    At first I thought he had a pair+FD in the second hand, but then realized he didnt. After seeing a hand like that I would call with two pair and not think twice about it, but in that situation I am going to be making a fold unless villain shows me that it would be a bad lay down.
