V2 ($1200)- French guy. Plays a little loose preflop, but straightforward postflop. Have seen him raise flops twice with two pair once and top set another time rather than slowplay.
Hero ($1000) - solid, aggresive image. Because of table dynamics and cards, been playing more TAG than LAG. Been at table with both opp for at least 3 hours. No significant hand history with either.
Preflop: Hero limps in EP with 2s2c. LAG raises to $25 in MP. French guy calls in SB. Hero calls.
Flop Ah 9c 2h.
French guy checks. Hero generally likes to lead in this spot, but checks to at least get cbet from LAG. LAG bets $60. French guy cr to $200. Hero??
You set-mined, got here, and are getting action. This is one of those questions I like to answer before the flop. "If all hell breaks loose on the flop am I going to get cold feet with my set?"
Set over set sucks, but if you are going to lay down your set of 2s then I would not set-mine pre flop.
This response will be flamed as there are many better players than I who can lay down their 2s in this situation.
The only way I am folding is if my sub conscious mind screams to me "you are toast" and that feeling of dread overcomes me. If I feel clear on my reads, I'm never folding--always raising.
