I have seen Ice_Cr3am a lot, and I think she at least knows what she's doing, probably a winning player. Also, this reraise by her left her with 170 chips behind.

I think you're seeing 88 a lot of the time here, and if she was able to put a move on you with AQ (or worse, for that matter) so be it.

[1C5]

ohhh

good chance trips are there.

I wonder how many other 109ers lay this down here?

[Brad22]

The raise was only 2BB, so a whole variety of hands could have been in there. 88 is quite likely. AK or AQ is a possibility too. If the player you are speaking of is that good, and knows how you will play that sort of hand, it would force you to think that you are behind. Pay attention in the future to see how that player plays sets. Tough fold.

If you only "think" she knows what she's doing and she's "probably" a winning player I call. If you are sure of the above things though then she probably has AA, KK, AK, 88 or maybe 55 and folding is good.

fold. there is about a 5% chance you are ahead. IF that. easy fold. holla

Fold. Incidentally, do you play a set here like villain did (I assume)? If I were villain and I knew hero's hand, I'dve raised the original bet because this gives hero a much tougher decision and may give me a clear double up. Is this play still correct if we give UTG and hero a reasonable range of hands?

[bluefeet]

very good laydown (nice raise btw...i liked that part too).

screaming a set here.

flop - "oooh, sweet a set!"
utg leads - "ahh, nice....some action from EP - let me just smooth call this most perfect of boards...boowaaaaahh"
hero raises - "BINGO!! FISH ON!! GET THE NET!!!"

mrs. sweet-set(hmmm, i wonder) is playing no other hand this way IMO

[45suited]

I don't know if I could ever have a strong enough read to put her on the set there and lay this down. Drawless board makes it much scarier.

There's a pretty good chance that you made the correct play, but I don't think that I could have folded. Then again, the highest that I play is the 33s.

I wish I could make laydowns like this.
