with no flush draw I'd fold, might have been better to check the top set in early position hoping to check raise? If it's checked around at least the pot is smaller on the next street so you can boat up for cheaper...just unlucky

the way he played the hand so far.. i think i have to give him credit for the 4,5

I think the fact there is an all-in player substantially reduces the chance that this is a bluff. If he is playing for the sidepot then he really is over betting the pot to win it. The only hands you beat that he makes this play with are a two pair flush draw or an underset. I think thats alot less likely than a 45.

you aren't beating much here unless your opponent is on crack and thinks he's playing crazy pineapple H/L 8b and gets to discard after the river.

This is what I was thinking when I folded. Unfortunately, he had 6622 rainbow. Needless to say, I made a note.

I hope this is a "watch out for this guy" type note not a buddy list type note. That was a smooth move.

lol, wait a minute, you just said he must be on crack if he doesn't have me beat. I'm sensing a bit of results oriented thinking.
