is this another one of those hands where people pretend they can fold flopped sets?

I wish I was pretending...not fun folding a $1K winner.

Personally I can't imagine folding here, there is too much he can have that you beat but I'm stubborn like that.

other than exactly AcKc, which I don't think he has all that often, I have no idea what else he has that we beat

AcQc and KcQc maybe. Perhaps even Jc9c/Tc9c.

I can see him doing it with any AQ combo and the other hands Colbalt mentions. Yeah as played, pre-flop he could have QQ here and even 88 but there are enough hands he can have that are beaten here to make a call reasonably profitable. Like I said I'm stubborn but honestly I've played 100s of thousands of hands online and live (mostly online) and I have to say I rarely get beaten by set over set. If he has a club draw we stand 36% or so chance of losing if he hits his draw but a 64% chance of winning. While I can understand a fold and certainly don't think it was bad, I still think calling will be profitable enough here to make a call okay. If I'm wrong I stand corrected.

Just one 'l', please. In ~500 hours of live poker, I believe I've been oversetted 4 times. I did win one though...and no, I didn't make quads or a flush...I got the guy to fold.

I don't think he ever shoves 200+bb w AQo.

the thing is, if utg villain is a good player then has range is going to be widened to more combo draws (all broadway clubs, and t9cc). I feel that if it was a weaker player, and he played it like this, I love the fold b/c his range is prolly 2 hands (QQ or 88). and again, we have a set and those usually win!

I didn't know you could play live online.

Oh. Okay.

[babylondonks]

I think we should fold pre. If I'm wrong I stand corrected.

Only reason I'd fold pre is if a shorter stack behind is super likely to jam and then the EP isolates.

[babylondonks]

I stand corrected.

Honestly, if you made yourself a rule that you never folded a set on the flop, you'd be extremely happy with your game long term and would never have regrets.Of course, with every rule there are "exceptions", but honestly, myself included, most players suck at finding the exceptions when they run across them.

3. As played, can we find a fold here?

I find this hard to believe, as many hands as you've played online that this hasn't happened more to you. I can't imagine I've played much more than you and I've been oversetted dozens and dozens of times.

Oh, it's happened gobs and gobs online. I've played several million hands. I was just saying that it has happened like 4 times in probably 15k hands of live poker.

This happened in Florida.NEVER EVER EVER FOLD A FLOPPED SET IN A LIVE GAME IN FLORIDA.
