Blech. Could be a legit hand that beats you, like JJ, T9, flush, or he could just be repping the flush with a big pair. My philosphy is to give credit for big hands facing huge river bets unless I have very good reason to suspect something fishy so I don't think I'd call off another $8.30 here.

I'd expect to be beat here a lot, but I never fold sets at this level. Never.



Well, maybe not never, but almost never. wink.gif

Huh, wrote a reply but it seems to have vanished so take 2:

Slowplaying JJ on a fd/sd board. Not clever, but possible. I'd be more likely to give him credit for that if he raises turn. Or r/r preflop.

Slowplaying 9T 2 streets then shoving when a flush hits, seems pretty insane, but perhaps he doesn't want to be bluffed off his straight on the river.

We have 2nd set, and a situation where we are very rarely behind. I call. And laugh at villain even if he does have us beat, because he butchered his hand either way.

this is 9T every time I call it. I don't think I can fold. The flush is back door, so it's not THAT likely. Not likely enough to fold any way.

Couldn't this be a missed diamond flush whose trying to buy the pot? I'd call
BertTheKid
I'm never folding here

So everyone advocates calling but expecting to be beat?

I didn't fold either. I called and he had jh.gifth.gif.

My reasons for calling were similar to most of the responses. Something like "There's no way I'm folding a set" but there are really very few hands that make sense that I beat when he shoves the river right?

He almost certainly has a hand; I don't ever recall seeing someone open bluff shove the river, especially when a str8 and flush get there.

Maybe pot the turn to really charge him for either of the flush draws he may have.

But I would still call here hoping he has a slow played 2 pair or AJ even. And then be tilted when he shows a flush.
