So when someone says they don't have a set believe them. They may be saying that for misdirection because they have a better hand, but they're very unlikely to have a set.
it's always a better hand or one that is indifferent
they don't have the flush, but they have top set which is the nuts if nobody has a flush and you'd have already called by now if you had a flush yourself so it is the nuts
but do otherwise agree that they are often truthful in a way
would lean to it being polarized, they either have the next best or better hand or absolutely nothing, nobody with top pair is talking about not having the flush
