I was in late position in a seven handed 10-20 game, all the action players had long since busted out and I'm sitting with the rocks. This is ok with me because the rocks don't defend their blinds without a top shelf hand. I help myself to about an hour of blinds before I get a caller. Still 7 handed I'm in the CO w/ cowboys, all fold to me, I raise, because a limp would look very strange from me, and the BB calls. Flop comes 4c Kc 8x. BB bets. BB is a rock amoung rocks, so there are very few hands I can put him on. He has to have a set, two pair, or AK, thats about as long as the list could be. I raise to make it look like I want a free card and he three bets. I call so I can put in an extra bet on the turn. Turn brings the Ac and he bets out, I have him on AK or a set, but don't see any way he could have a club, much less two so I raise him. He calls and the river brings a fourth club. I stick with my read and bet and he mucks AdAh face up. He's a nice enough old rock so I just say "nice fold" and drag the pot. Would anyone else fold in this situation? I can't imagine that you're making money folding top set heads up, even with a four flush on the board.
