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, 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.
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.
