Default Re: A similar hand that I don\'t like - family pot, though

if someone has an overpair to your 6's? if they merely have a Q? what happens when you hit your raggedy two pair and lose?

and what kind of bullshit advice is "fearing sets is generally a bad idea" ? yeah... looking for monsters under the bed is always wrong... but while you're busy drawing to YOUR set saying... (and you're not going to believe this)... other people hit them, too! the point isn't that somebody likely has a set right now, and certainly if you hit your 6 you stand a strong chance of winning this pot... but that when the action goes bet/raise the chances of people holding hands that positively own you increase dramatically.

you don't know what this means, other than you have a very low middle pair, and a worthless kicker, and other people like their hands that assuredly have you beaten... and you don't know how many bets you're going to have to spend to see the river here. and when you improve, you still may not have the best hand.
