    Wait, I didn't mean that he would go 2x with a set unimproved, if that's what you thought? I simply meant that villain could easily valuebet worse than the nuts on the turn if he's aware of his image.

    Edit: If you meant my comment that he might 2x pot with a straight, then you're right it doesn't seem likely. I just wanted to make the point that it's not necessarily a bad idea here.

    I mean this was pretty much my line of thinking. I agree with you guys that he's not 2x potting a straight, so that leaves boats.

    I block quite a few combos of possible boats, plus the fact that he might not even bet all two pairs or sets on the turn in the first place.

    That doesn't leave too many combos of boats left to play this way.

    The most compelling reason I have for folding is that it also looks like I have Kx, and I doubt he expects me to fold Kx.
