set over set nightmare

Dare I ask if someone plays a different line here? I ruled out a r/r due to all the folks in behind, and the difficulty I would have in betting them off a draw w/o committing myself here. The only reason I ask is my line stanks of set, so unless hes ready to gamble, he lays down almost anything except a set. So maybe I gamble a lot for a little gain?

Of course, he hollywooded before calling, probably saying a prayer against the flush draw.

Why such a big reraise on the flop?

Id imagine your thread title is going to skew your replies a fair bit. You have middle set and I dont think 22 ever folds that so you should be at least breaking even. Add to that the times someone calls with an overpair and your laughing.

Ni Han as Lukie and Fnord say...

I go broke every time with a set......unelss we're both deep stacked and my read is 90% correct.The I dump.

Punish the gambol, and perhaps suck an overpair in.

what is set over set on the flop - 99 to 1?

gotta pay the man. all the times you are up against low set, draws that don't get there, TPTK, two pair, bluff, donk, etc. - it pays for itself QUICKLY no?

just gotta suck it up in my book. (my enormous 5 post book to boot).

of course the situation makes a difference, but not that much...

mulligan

I don't think I would've moved all-in. With the state of the flop, and the fact he's betting $15 into an $11 (I think) pot... I'd disregard the idea that he's playing overcards and definitely not a draw. I'd put him on a set.

50/50 whether it's 2's or 8's.

I'd bet out... See where I am... I couldn't go all-in on a 50/50 like that. I'd tell him I have the eights with a big raise, and if he re-raises, then he'd confirm that he has me beat.

Unless he sucks.

But I've lost many big pots assuming people suck. So forget it.

awful thinking, its never 50/50 here. and you have better pot odds than 50/50 anyway.

My read would be 50/50 between taking the pot or losing it.
