Full Version: flopped set in trouble

This hand came up in a live game with some of my friends. Most players are bad loose/passive players, the one I'm HU with is a moderately tight aggressive player who bluffs too much. Doesn't slowplay often postflop. He's better than everyone at the table...except me 8). 9-handed 1/2 LHE.

Hero has 6 icon_suit_club.gif 6 icon_suit_spade.gif in button.

***Preflop***:
5 folds, CO limps, Hero raises, 2 folds, CO calls.

Nothing special there. Try to knock blinds out, succeed.

*** Flop *** : 6:heart: 7 icon_suit_club.gif 8 icon_suit_diamond.gif (5.5 SB)
CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero caps, CO calls

That was fun. Thought of slowplaying, but his bets were quick enough to let me know he'd certainly play on later streets.

*** Turn *** : [6 icon_suit_heart.gif 7 icon_suit_club.gif 8 icon_suit_spade.gif ] 5 icon_suit_diamond.gif (6.5 BB)
CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero calls.

This is where I start to get worried. There's a 4-straight on the board. I know Villain well, and it's unlikely he'd still bet at this without a good hand. I figure he must be on an overpair (I could see him limp with a higher one from CO in our game), two pair, a higher set, or a straight. His raises on the flop would be quite unusual for him with only a draw; however, I guess it would be possible for him to do that with a pair and a draw. At this point, I think he could have 67 or 68 (unlikely, since I hold 2 of the 6's), 78, 77, 88, QQ, KK, AA, 45, 89, or 9T. That's a decent number of hands. Was my call weak?

***River***
[6 icon_suit_heart.gif 7 icon_suit_club.gif 8 icon_suit_spade.gif 5 icon_suit_diamond.gif] Q icon_suit_diamond.gif (12.5 BB)
CO bets, Hero calls.

Was this weak? I hate the idea of having to just call on a HU hand with a set, but the betting tells me there's a good chance I'm beat.

***Summary***
Final pot: 14.5 BB.

I appreciate the input

Preflop raise is good.
Flop cap is fine.

Check/call both the turn and the river with the 4 straight out there

no way you can raise the turn, call and hope for the boat
