    Default flop bottom set, snap fold flop?

    opener is loose-ish 19-16 high volume pro, his ranges by position are more statck than most. 60% cbet so he probably has a hand here.
    caller is 13-6-3 nit, 85% fold to cbet, 3% raise cbet, decent sample. I think his range is TT here. But I wonder about QQ+. Fold standard?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

    MP2 ($25.66)
    MP3 ($29.46)
    CO ($25)
    Hero (Button) ($33.17)
    SB ($25)
    BB ($21.24)
    UTG ($89.84)
    UTG+1 ($25)
    MP1 ($24.84)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 4, 4
    UTG bets $0.75, 4 folds, CO calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.75, 1 fold, BB calls $0.50

    Flop: ($3.10) 4, 10, 8 (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG bets $2.25, CO raises to $6.50, Hero ??,

    How can you write off Jd9d, AdTd, AdKd, JJ,QQ,etc.

    It's almost always a mistake to fold a set OTF.

    Except the times you just know you're in a cooler situation yet call anyway.

    Someone who's this passive and still manages to play 13% of hands is probably flatting a wider range than you'd expect. He's probably not exactly abusing the button, yet 13% of hands preflop is 22+/AJ+/ATs+/87s+/KJs+. I don't know exactly what his flatting range IP to an EP open is, but I think there have to be enough combos of odd hands to offset 6 friggin combos. Where else is he getting his hands in?

    We're flipping against TT/88/KQdd/QQ alone, and we have position.

    Why call pre if we're folding to action when we hit?

    Serious question.

    See, this is why I don't play shitty pairs very often because of crap like this. OMG though I think I fold this, I'm such a nit.

    Set over Set is rare. Even if this is a fold, we assume that the 97% of the time that the action doesn't go bet->raise, we're in line to make some money. In fact, if villain is playing so predictably that we can get away from set-over-set (without too often making a mistake against worse hands), then the call preflop is even more profitable.

    I find a fold here when I'm playing well. When I'm playing my usual auto-pilot, I get the money in way behind and then wonder why.

    We can kid ourselves that villain plays combos that don't have us crushed in the same manner (thus turning a fold into a stack-off) and we can also work on the rule that we should never fold a set otf, but we'd be making a mistake doing either imo given this villain's stats.

    Folding sets is hard even on much worse boards but dont see you being in front like ever. Is co likely to flat Utg open with KK/aa. What if you had 88 still s fold?
    I think yr pretty baller uf you can chuck away a set when yr only beat by sets. All this makes co raise redic bad or super awesome

    i'm not sure i could fold here in the heat of full ring, but it's probably right too. I don't see the co raising the flop here w/ JJ+ w/ someone to act given davens read.

    88 is a very easy non fold, 44 is a fold. There's a huge equity difference between these two hands here imo. There's no way he plays TT this way and not 44.
