Re: $55: Overpair in level 1
I really am shocked that some are advocating a fold preflop. You do realize that two people cold called, right? There is 260 in the pot and it's only 60 more for me to call. There is no way I was folding this. The immediate pot odds are almost 5-1. The plan was to flop a set or get out. I'm not going to worry about the times where I hit my set and lose to some other hand. If it's set over set or they incorrectly call my flop bet with a draw and hit, so be it.
With all that said, I think that I probably should've folded the flop. For some reason I didn't think that a high pair was likely and I pushed. The raiser called w/ AKs and missed. I thought he would fold unpaired high cards, but I hadn't really considered how many ways he actually had to beat me if he called. It worked out well, but I think I'll follow my "set it or forget it" plan next time.
