I agree with this.
I think trooper's 2 choices were to fold to the raise to $275, or to shove.
Let's assume we have no read on the villain at all ( big assumption)
Late in a session, tired, frustrated, and down a few hundred, I would have probably taken trooper's line.
Early in a session, fresh and thinking clearer, I probably would have folded to the villain's raise to $275.
If you had a read on this guy, such as old, tight and competent, it would be kinda obvious he had a set.
I would be more than curious to how long this guy was at trooper's table, and what kind of game he was playing.
