Okay since you asked. Just because people rarely
flop sets and
flop sets even more rarely when we have a
set(obviously). Telling yourself people almost never have a sets or w/e isn't the greatest way
to go about playing a particular hand.
Example: A really a
tight guy calls our EP
raise in the BB(
Range of say 88-
QQ,AQs,AKs). Flops comes 7JQ he checks the
flop, we bet our
bottom set. This
villain c/rs us. The board is super dry and this guy is always going to c/c 2nd
pair and c/c
top pairs, he folds to c-bets ~65% and c/rs ~5%. Okay so
villain is going to have a
set X% of the time right? No because this guy pretty much has a
set VERy VERY often. Say 80% of the time.
In this example putting your
villain on a
range of hands pre-
flop then giving up a
flop range for c/cing, c/ring and c/fing. This tells us that we should
fold our
bottom set.(You are never going to run into villains THIS
tight except someone like TripCCC(lol for the ppl who remember this guy). Anyways the point is if you were to use hey, nobody like ever flops a
set as an excuse to
stack off here. You would make a very VERY -eV play. It's better to analyze peoples ranges. Not
random statistics like people
flop flush draws X% or people
flop 2pairs or sets X%.(Although these are useful if used correctly)
