Re: Steal Called - now what?
No. My point is *if* he is rational, he'll put a preflop raiser on a range of hands, of which a straight or atraight draw are a small portion. If I reverse roles and have 99-66, I don't see that as a dangerous to my set (and if I have 77, I'll still call). Sure he might be stealing with any 2, but you put a reasonable probability on that.
I would smooth-call that flop bet with a set almost 100% of the time (not if there was a flush draw there, too).
BTW, the thing about why do we assume he's not stupid - that was humor.
