its a clear fold. You need at least 1:3 pot odds to call this shove with just the bottom set.

I don't get this. Isn't it about whether or not he has AA or KK? Why would i care about pot odds.

I'm a micro stakes player, so I may be missing something here... But the guy reps a very tight range. We only need 32% equity and against AA, 99-66 we have %36. We even don't need KK in his range. Can we really put this guy on only sets + str8? And also, I can't see any str8s in his range (except 88 of course).

I would have called this...

I rarely see FR nits turn AA/KK into bluff at this stake.You rep a very strong rang on the turn and the guy happily CRAI.Sorry,I don't think bottom set is good enough to call here. Maybe I call with Mid or top set here depending on game flow and his tendency blah blah.

I'm pretty sure you have less than 36% equity. I think his range is weighted mostly towards 77 and 88. This would be a really strange line with AA.

BTW,if you can't find the fold button and always get married to your set in these marginal situations vs nits,you will not improve your win rate drastically in the long run.

I totally understand what his range is made up of and I know it would be really stupid for anyone to bet AA or KK like this...infact I knew he had the goods.

What I don't understand is the 36% equity you are talking about. Does that mean that he would have to show up with AA/KK 36% of the time for it to be profitable, since its such a huge overbet?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Honestly... I was trying to put him on a range...while my time was running out quickly(Titan sucks for this) so i thought .. hey i have a set and now I'll bet...I'm so used to playing live, where the regs all limp 77 and 88 so maybe I was thinking he must just be playing AA really weird.

I just didn't factor that he is almost never going to have 2 pair or a drawing hand here and i'm probably already crushed. The bet also looks pretty bad because TT-AA(the only hands that I'm beating right now) may fold to the turn bet, but would call a river value bet.
