I have been knocked out of 4 of the last 5 live NLHE tourneys I have played after I flop a set. Twice I flopped a set, winner(s) of the hand rivered a straight (1 gut shot, one runner, runner). Twice I flopped a set, turned a FH and winner rivered a bigger FH.

Most recent hand.

I'm on the button with 8-8. Blinds 200/400. Two limp to cutoff who raises to 2500. This player is loose and tilted. Already 2 rebuys in. I just flat. SB calls all in for 2100, and the two limpers call.

Flop is 8-6-A rainbow. First to act moves all in for 5600 hijack calls, cutoff folds and I move all in for 12500. Hijack (big stack at the table calls.

Other 3 hands are:
SB - KsQs
Other 2 players each have AJ os.

Turn is 8-6-A-A

River makes the board 8-6-A-A-J...

Thank goodness OP edited.

I know it sucks, but what can you do? Gotta lose that money.

You should write a novel about your experiences in live poker, it would be riveting.

completely unnecessary trolling.

I realize this is not your normal behavior, so this is just a warning. First and final obviously.

OP, fold sets and start making some serious coin obv

solid 1st post
