Why? Cause you have the best hand but draws are out there but one or more of the donks might come along.

Letting a free card get off on that board with a set is dumb. Folding a set on the turn is "Tommy-Reed" like, and you don't want to go there.

Considering pot size, yeah, I shove this.

Yeah, you gotta push this. You probably get everyone to fold, because CO can be betting any two to steal there after all the weakness. Though I don't think that's particularly likely with the draws.

Anyway yeah, when you're called it's usually by an 8 or just a flush draw. You're like never ever behind.

I'll elaborate a bit on that I guess..nobody with a bigger set is checking it twice, that'd be retarded. They need to protect their hand as well as try to get some value from draws. Same goes for a flopped straight...though a bit less so since it's only afraid of one draw. Thus the only player who could conceivably have a better hand than you is CO...but you can't be scared of oversets or straights, you'll end up laying down the best hand way more often than not.
