i'm calling here. we know that no one has a straight now. odds are that you have the best hand. i am not gonna let this go esp. with all the money in the pot

Wow. pretty crazy hand. I'm not worried about sb. Since he is a donk I am putting him on any number of overpairs TT-AA, possibly 99. 88 and 77 from the SB seem a lot more aggressive than semi-agressive.The button though is troubling. Still, 87s is a legitamite possibility given his favorable odds, position, and the donk next to him preflop. There is also the possibility that he is a donk with an overpair or any number of hands with a six in it (six seven the most likely). The straight is another remote possibility.To fold, we have to be almost positive the button has a higher set. You are getting almost 4-1 so this is an easy call.

button has 87 or a set.you beat 1/3 hands he has.still hard to get off bottom set though, especially in the moment of a hand.- Jordan

I'm sure you know, your only fold here is if button has you over setted. And we all know what they say about people who assume that... :)Even if button shows you a straight, its an auto call based on the almost 4-1 odds, as the previous poster said. Hand seems standard?Mark

SB had top set. Button had straight. Board paired on the turn, and I made $20 on the hand. Button complained that I had to know that bottom set wasn't good.My rationalization was pretty much what you guys said...SB on overpair...and still gotta call if Button has the straight.
