Folded a set on the flop

[ErrantNight]

maybe if you hadn't been ignoring your read that these guys were uber-aggressive...

[droolie]

Bottom set beats, top pair, two pair and a flush draw (A reasonable progession of betting here.) You have a ton of outs vs a made str8 or flush. Though it's possible you are screwed to a higher set you likey toss the best hand here 75% of the time. If no one else has a set and your boat comes in when those other guys have str8's and flushes your implied odds are massive. You act after the aggressors and can fold the river if the action is similar when it gets to you. Doing so on the flop is a huge weak tight leak.


Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and sling your balls over your shoulder and push your chips into the center of the table. This is one of those times.

Now my AK hand where I spewed chips doesn't make me feel so bad anymore.

I am forced to agree with everyone else, I feel you have to cap. You have a very strong hand and you have to play it aggressive, especially against donks who willinging three bet with A9o on this board.

There is a solid possibility you are up against either a higher set or a made straight or a flush draw or some combination of these.

As others have pointed out, the only real hand you are drawing dead to is a higher set, so you are either ahead or behind with lots of outs to a FH, usually.

Clear cap. You underestimate the value/rarity of a set and the number of outs you have against a flush/straight.

CAP IT!!!!

79 - or 75 or 95, are also hands that should keep in mind.

this isn't a wa/wb situation.

I don't think the implication was WA/WB. UATrewqaz was saying that we are either way ahead, or drawing very much live.
