Even though everyone hates it, it takes guts. I've been actually thinking about plays like this...and how likely it it is for someone to fold. I mean you're pretty much playing exactly like you hit a set. And how often does villain have 2 pair or better? The power of the all-in is scary, I made 2 folds to bluffs last night...w/ top pair and an overpair. You just don't know...if you're opponent doesn't have at least 2 pair, they're very likely to fold (as long as they're not calling stations).

Gotta totally disagree with this. When someone makes a big bet or all-in like this it screams "please don't call me." If you really do hit a set then you want to induce a call, not force the person to fold. In the long run this kind of play is defintely -ev...the op just got lucky this time.
