Folding Sets

There are of course many situations where it's standard to fold sets (four-flush boards, partial-straight boards, read-dependant situations against tight players), but...

Is it ever correct to fold a set on the flop?

Please provide hypotheticals. Thanks.

what the hell are you talking about?

"there are times when it's obv correct to fold a set on the flop, (here are some examples)

but is it ever correct to fold a set on the flop? provide examples"

Remember what Nazgul said about reading other peoples' posts before responding to them?

On the flop? Wow, that would be some really rare situation where you put him on a higher set than yourself, say you're 66 and 90% certain he has AA or KK because of the preflop action, flop comes 6AK and he is giving you strong action. Very theoretical, I don't even think many people would fold. Can't imagine other cases where you could fold easily on the flop, because you can outdraw a straight or a flush.

and i laughed out loud

Don't be sucha jerk rekrul!

It's not nice saying it out loud! *gigglefart*

lolololololololol

haha i knew this would get flamed

fold sets on flop?

the only scanerio would be..

55 on a limped pot 9 handed on a 5h6h7h board and your opponents are going crazy.

another situation i guess...TT reraised, 2 callers + yourself, flop ThJhQh

I fold sets all the time, but then again I hate money.

If you fold a set, you are a poop-face.

no fear poker/monster poker
end of discussion

bottom set in rags flop in full ring in a multiway limped pot when there are raises and reraises and rereraises and rerereraises and allins left and right

Yeah basicly unless it's obvious as hell - don't fold it.

DuckPing either posts this stuff as a joke, hates money, or is really stupid.

i used to fold sets to oversets fairly regularly at 5/10 full ring, but ive been running bad, have moved down and the players are far too bad even at 2/4 to do that. so yeah, i would probably almost never fold a set below 3/6 or 5/10 fr, its just a loss of too much equity

Only makes sense to fold a set if you are very confident you are facing a higher set or a flopped flush/straight and you dont have implied odds to boat up, which you typically do. Therefore dont fold sets.

if bigballs doesn't fold it, u don't, that's a rule
