Default Help!!!

I'm becoming freaking setaphobic. Right now... you're probably asking yourself, what the hell is setaphobia? Do I have it? How do I find out?

You can relax now... it's not a real disease persay; rather a poker syndrome.

Fear of sets

Common symptoms;
-- Fear of getting trapped with an overpair vs a set
-- Shitting your pants every time you see a raggedy flop and someone betting
-- Saying [censored] like "I know someone has a set here"
-- Folding AA on dry boards for hurrendously good pot odds.

I just realized, I'm setaphobic sometimes.

Enjoy...

25$ NL, 25$ effective stacks. I open A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG for 5xBB... 4 callers

Pot 6$
flop 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
-- BB bets 3$, I raise to 9$, BB calls

Turn 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
-- pot 23$
-- BB bets 15$ (I have 12 left, so 12 to call)

I fold.

As soon as I hit the fold button... I realized just how bad this fold really was. Sometimes, all you can do is laugh.

Any other setaphobes out there?

I think that if you're going to fold the turn, fold the flop. I don't think it's necessarily a bad fold because I think you're ahead, I think it's a bad fold getting 3:1 on that board.

just remember someone is 16 to 1 to pick up a PP, and a lil less then 7 1/2 to 1 to flop a set, So unless theres like 9 people to the flop i worry about it rarely unless someone check checks, and overbets the river.

Pretty easy call to me, villain could have 55-KK, 3 of which you are behind. Also not many people bet into the PFR with sets, they're usually doing it with small pairs/PPs to test you
