So can i fold this after i made the rereraise on the turn? My thinking was maybe one of them has a set but fuck it I call. I know this is not good thinking but I was semi-on tilt after some other bad beat and bad play.

Never easy to fold a set - they could have AQ and A6. Minus any reads I think its marginal either way. At a $200+NL cash game I would fold there after Id put in 2nd raise and they had both come in over the top of that.

I hate folding. I think I'm going to take it out of my game altogether. Things would be so much easier then.
Seriously, yes you should have. Could I? I doubt it.

Well that really was what i meant with my question. Obviously I should have folded, what I meant was could I or would you in the same position?

someone else getting a set will only happen once every 100 or so times you get one.. so basically the poker gods just hated you

And if you can fold that 1 time every 100 you will increase your profit greatly


Seriously I think if you feel you are beaten 50% of the time given the action you need to fold. You shouldn't just feel resigned and think well I am 75% sure one of them has me beat but I'm not good enough to fold a set, guess I'm going broke. Especially in a tournament folding a winner is less of a mistake than calling with a loser.

in a tournament, i dont think im folding this, ever.
