Meh spot with a set

Results 1 to 9 of 9

    Default Meh spot with a set

    Villain is good 20/16 decent TAG reg. I just coolered him with AA>KK on another table (how do we interpret this?). He doesn't get out of line that much and is pretty straightforward imo. Considering he can have a lot of KcXc type hands and my read on him is this a std fold? I also bet pretty big. What do yall think? Thx.

    Stack sizes dont show but assume 115BB deep

    Cryptologic
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $5/$10
    6 players
    Converter

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with
    UTG folds, Hero raises to $30, CO folds, Button calls, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($75, 2 players)
    Hero bets $50, Button calls.

    Turn: ($175, 2 players)
    Hero bets $130, Button calls.

    River: ($435, 2 players)
    Hero bets $333, Button raises all-in $968, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: $635 returned to Button.

    Results:
    Final pot: $1101

    hmm... this is close I think. I mean, you know I never fold so I probably can't say much here.

    I think a lot of clubs are definitely in his range: AcQc, QcJc, KcJc, KcQc

    The problem I have with this is that our hand is in the top of our range, so if we're not calling here we're practically never calling.

    If a spade came and he pushes you're still folding right? What if an A or 9 came and he pushes?

    If he puts you on a made hand on the flop and knows you're capable of folding here, he can probably get you to fold on any spade/club/ and maybe even A or 9?

    In a vacuum I think this fold is probably fine, but in terms of metagame I'm not sure how good triple-barrel folding is here.

    so you fold KKK?

    edit : not a rhetorical question
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    more likely to call it cuz it takes away his KcXc hands...

    Yah this is good logic, that makes sense.

    What if he had KhKd?

    I think this is a good fold. Not a fold that I can do, but I think you're likely behind.

    But realistically though, my question above, you're gonna have to fold to a shove on all spades/clubs and possibly A or 9's right?

    This hand shows why floating boards with lots of bluff outs can be so profitable. I think it's a fold, but against a tricky regular, no way.
