Re: bottom set on flop
[ QUOTE ]
Since set over set is rare I probably close my eyes and call, though if my read on the re-raiser is a rock, then I fold.

I had almost the exact situation as the OP come up last week, same board, except a Q rather then a 9, I flopped bottom set. Almost the exact same action. In a situation like this, do you just have to call and accept that set over set happens sometimes? My 1st thought is that bottom set will be good here often enough against over pairs or 2 pairs. My 1st thought when I saw the flop is how can I stack someone, then given the action, I make the crying call figuring I just might be beat. Am I way off? I always thought set over set is rare enough that when it happens you just have to suck it up and move on.
