No
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

You could fold preflop since the raise is $3 and he only has $24.75 but that's debatable. $3 is a big preflop raise at that level. If he's a tight player, then easily fold. If he's loose then this call isn't bad. Once you see the flop, you accomplished your goal by getting all your money in with a boat.

You went set hunting and caught. With a rainbow board you either lose your stack or take his.

I agree with R8ed: I don't call over 10% of my stack with 22-44 I find my set over set ratio to outway the reward. I will happily call smaller PFRs though. . . that is table dependent of course. In this case, I would only call <= $1.50.

Once you caught your set, I am going broke here too.

 big preflop raise at25nl tells you imo he has a big pp TT/JJ/QQ most likely
The fact he calls you through two streets tells me he likes his hand, especially when the ace turns up and he still calls.
I agree with others you dont ever get away from this but i wouldnt push the river after he calls through i just bet it quite big. But then if he pushes im calling anyway.
Why only bet? because of the way 25nl players play/raise big pp's preflop

Agreed. I usually see TT-QQ here. People who raise it this much are scared to play their hand post-flop with overcards. They are OK with taking the blinds/limper's money and not taking a flop. Occasionally you see the AA or KK -- I don't know what they are thinking.

I don't call his pre-flop raise. The implied odds aren't there. Otherwise, no, you're going to get boned on this hand.

The pre-flop call is terrible. Post-flop is pretty typical tight/passive fair.

Everyone likes players who under-bet well defined hands up until the river.

Set hunting is not justified here:

Preflop you get 8.3 - 1 on your money
Hitting a set is 7.5-1
When you hit your set you are a 90% favorate meaning you need 8.5 implied odds preflop for BREAK even, add rake and your play is HUGE -EV

If you add rake to these micro levels where they always take MAX rake the 10% rule does not really apply.
You need minimum 11:1 implied odds if you include rake in the equation and thats almost a break even play


Consider your play you payed $25 to win a $47 pot. which is $22 profit, you payd $3 preflop to make $22 profit, no way in hell this is justified.

Good post. I only have one thing to add: Don't forget to figure the times you can't get all his money in the middle, winning only $5-10.

Yes its also possible he has QQ or KK and an overcard on the flop kills your action.

I'll be sure to keep those numbers in mind. The only reason why I called here is because I was set hunting. If I didn't flop it I would've gladly folded to any further raises. Since I did I was sure I was the favorite so I bet hard. Well this is the first time that a bigger boat crushed me so now I know. I'll make all the minor adjustments and think of implied and pot odds next time. It was a way of party poker telling me "You can't always go set hunting when you have pocket pairs, if you do with wrong odds we will put a bigger set out there to beat you!!!!!"

 Just out of curiousity, what was going through your mind when you hit the call button?

12xBB call that's almost 1/8th of your stack when your OOP (not a very big deal here) and don't close the action with 44?

I know this has been said, but thats a bad call and even if you get all-in with villain AND win everytime you hit a set, this is still -EV.

Post-flop is played far too passive. I understand the check-raise on the flop, but make it a meaningful bet. I don't understand check/min-raising a 1/3 potsize bet. I'd make it at least 8 total and punch the rest in the next chance you get.

Don't call 12xBB to chase a set.

I agree I might have been "Set" happy here chasing with just 44. Well since the odds of hitting a set is 7.5-1. What would have been the correct raise to call with my money preflop considering its a $25 n/l table. Should have there been more money from other callers to make this call justifiable?? I need to know more than the odds here. I need to know exactly what raise I should've called with.
