Re: Spider senses are tingling
 

I was not in the hand so I can't say for certain. But there are times when I can say better then 9 times out of 10 that a certain person has a set.

There are a lot of good but minimally tricky players who can be read like a book.

For instance... LAGS who lead and overbet all the time with marginal hands... suddenly, out of character for him... checks only to checkraise or go nuts; totally out of character for him and means Monster hand.

The person who calls a raise pf, smoothcalls a flop bet and then checkraises the turn on a drawless board; almost always a set.

Stuff like that... personally, I think your read can be enough to say, "I'm getting 3 to 1 on this call" and confidently fold.

Mind you... there are a lot of morons who you should NEVER fold a set to. I don't think that's what this hand is about.
