i usually raise the flop here. how come you called?

did he min c/r the river? im not folding to that.

I raise the flop here and stick the rest in on this turn expecting villian to call with a weaker overpair.

vnh Robert

my spidey-sense was tingling and for some reason I was freaking out about a donk-lead set from villain. This of course becomes very unlikely when board makes 2 of set possibilities quads... yet for some reason I still wanted to keep the breaks on ; I honestly felt there was a very good chance villain had quads, hence the trappiness - river min raise.

I have been pretty good at sniffing out sets over the past little while so I just trust it when I feel it happening.

What can be said about his line? I'm not sure I understand it all that much.

[dan]

did he have quads?

[dsaxton]

LOL.

[Genitruc]

lol thx for your help saxton

[Robert]

He will have a set some of the time - but most of the time this will be an overpair (he raised preflop, remember?). Stack him by raising flop and pushing turn

[bode]

make the flop $75 to go, and stick the rest in on the turn.

[Genitruc]

is there some reason why noone seems to think the donk lead smells of a set?

Maybe I just project my own play onto unknowns but his line is exactly how I would play a set, lookking to check raise ai on turn.

also, does the raggy flop make a set unlikey for villain?

why?

I suppose folding an overpair or playing it weak is very read-dependant. This was against unknown so I prob just shoulda gotten the money in.

That being said, this happened on P rima. It's very unusual to see ppl donking into preflop raisers. like it happens once in 20 times with a hand that will not simply fold to aggression... (ok maybe i m exaggerating a bit, but...)
