Default Re: Flopped set on a suited flop: Cap of fold?

Pardon me for being harsh, but if anyone is capable of a fold on the flop here for any amount, you need to give up the game.

You've got 10 outs twice to what should be the best hand. You might even have the best hand now, and are caught in a war with two players who are vastly overplaying their hands. You're about a 1.5-1 underdog to improve by the river. Your implied odds are gonzo here. Things will likely slow down on the turn. Only a stone cold fool would fold here.

If someone has TT, dems the breaks. You're going to pay him off. And I don't care what the final result was, this was a brainless fold. Neither Miller nor Jones would associate himself with it in any fashion whatsoever.

Go ahead and cap the flop. You may be behind, but against two other players, you'll improve more than enough to make up for that extra SB you're putting out on the flop. Call anything on the turn, and if the action is to you on the river and it's one bet for a showdown, you're calling that, too.
