It's level 3 of a £100 f/o. Blinds are 75/150 and it's 30 minute clock so plenty of play to go.

I've got about 4000 most others have more because I got here late.

I'm utg and get AQ so raise to 450. 4 callers.

Flop  5c 7d Qs

SB, BB both check, I decide to trap check thinking that someone will steal.

Middle position bets 1500 which seemed quite high if he had nothing. It folds round to me and now I get paranoid and eventually bottle it.

Only read I have is that the guy had recently reraised me all in when I was sat with AQ. He showed AK so I was pleased with the fold.

Did I do the right thing? Should I just think 'what the hell' and go for his chips? I'd trap checked and got what I wanted so should I follow through with the plan?

4 people in the pot is 4x450 so his bet is smaller than the pot.

He raises with soo much here because of your check might be an AK that missed. I call here if I think he'll fire again on the turn if I do so...or i push here if I think he won't....I don't fold here unless the guy only plays KK/AA.

I'm not sure what you've done here. by bottled it do you mean you passed or you bottled the cr and called?

my chips are going in the middle at some point, probably now

Please tell me you didn't fold the effective nuts

This is a fist pump jam

lol whhhhhhhyyyyy would you fold?

Sorry I didn't really fold. I jammed, he called with a set.

Just wanted to make sure this is never a fold.

If I'd told it like it really was then everyone knows I've run in to a set and thinks it's a bad beat story.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Is there any way to get away from these? 4 callers so maybe there's a chance of a set. I could never fold it but should I have thought a bit more.

No just a cold deck, he played it pretty bad.

50p please.

no, he played it poorly though..he has position and the only hand you'd call his bet wth is surely AA/KK/AQ or another set? He should have checked it in my humble opinion and give you a chance to hang yourself with a wider range than you had.

he probs thought " nit raises utg 3*bb full handed, so he has a hand, only JJ/AK dont like that board, otherwise i get the cake"

WP villain.

Wtf Rich?

This was one of my thoughts. I often play sets exactly the same way especially if an ace hits but I didn't credit the guy with being that sneaky. After all he had just re-raised all in with AK when I had 3 x raised 2 hands earlier.

Is a bigger raise needed from utg to price the set miners out? I don't want to raise too much because I want action.

I can't think of a way out of it.

NIT????

I play a set the same way when I'm out of position and the pre-flop raiser is still to act..that gives him a chance to come over the top of me with a wider range...in position I would probably play it differently.

ffs you two, save it for pm's pls!
