Hey guys, how you doing?
Problem of the day:
I often find myself in a situation where I´m almost sure villain has a set, but my hand is simply too strong to fold and I can´t manage to control the pot size. Even though I´ve been recognizing these patterns with quite some accuracy (partypoker´s micros std: c/c flop, c/minraise turn, push river... :f_o:), I just can´t fold strong overpairs knowing that villain is a fish and might be playing back at me with overcards or a smaller overpair. So I just push along and think: "here I go, losing my whole stack to a set again".
How do you guys deal with this kind of read? Should I fold is situations like these or is it just out of question?
