There's not much that villain would be playing so fast here that you have beat. If he was 55/30 or something like that, I could see a call being reasonable, but no way against a 15/5 villain.
I have recently lost alot of money overplaying TPTK and overpairs as I moved up, and I have realized that in situations like these, you are beat a very large percentage of the time.

Re: 200 NL
 

That kind of TAGishness means he'd probably only limpcall with a pocket pair maybe AK, AQ, right? Been a while since I played full ring. You're probably behind a predictable player. If he is somewhat tricky, it's closer. I think it's a good fold, although you might lay down a split sometimes.

Re: 200 NL
 

You know the turn bet is coming(or a cr all in), just drop it on the flop if the guy is a set miner.

His line is really retarded though, and proof that almost all 15/5 guys play poorly postflop.

Re: 200 NL
 

but why would he play a set this fast? It seems illogical to play a good hand so fast on an uncoordinated board like this one.

Re: 200 NL
 

Very weird line for him, but calling the turn is ugly... about the only hand you're beating there is QK, which is possible but not likely enough to call the turn. Probably a good laydown. I think that unless he had QJ, he misplayed it badly.

... you just answered your own question. He put you on AK.

How retarded is his line if he has QQ or JJ?

If I was villian I would had played a set this way like 80-90% of the time, im not much of a TAG though most of the time.

Why is that? Do you think you would get calls from AK often enough to make it worth it? If he did have a set, he certainly could have extracted more from me. If he had QJ, JJ, QQ, I suppose it was a good play but dangerous...
