Re: Laying down a set
Sorry if I'm totally clueless here ... This sort of thing is where my game is very weak. I'm way too aggressive post flop and tight preflop. This is the sort of hand where I lose a lot of chips because I bet and push.
I would have bet the turn and call the river. I'm a 18 VP$IP with 9% PRF, my postflop aggression is too high (it varies between 4 and 9 on the Party 25NL. I really need help getting my post flop aggression down. I'd love to be able to understand in more detail how to lay down big hands like sets (or at least lose less and not push chips at nuts) Please explain the original post for agressive people. Yes he could have top or middle set, but couldn't he also have top pair or top two pair AJs, A9s, AKo, AKs 1/2 the time? Could he have been planning to checkraise top pair on the turn? Would this player always slow play a set and no other hand like this on a safe board? Why didn't the OP bet the turn? If your read suspects he has top or middle set why not bet 1/4 to 1/3 the pot on this turn? Or is your read on him so good that you *know* he has a set based on his call of your preflop bet??????? How can your read be so good that you can lay down a set given a $50 raise? How can we know from your post that you have that good a read? I'm just starting to play NL and I can't see why you played the hand this way.

Re: Laying down a set
Honest advice: forget you read this thread. Just focus on TPTK and overpairs. That's where you're losing your money. Not on overplaying sets.

I find it hard to lay down TPTK and overpairs as well. This could be my conditioning from moving from limit poker 2 months ago. In limit you just about never lay down TPTK or an overpair -- The pot odds are so huge. Edit  oes anyone know how to make em dashes rather than hyphens in this editor?
