Just sat down at the tables and have never seen this idiot before :

Poker Stars $1/$2 No Limit Hold'em - 8 players - View hand 246691
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

mcglacker (MP1): $163.15
Hero (MP2): $223.00
Mofessor (CO): $191.00
downgoesdown (BTN): $212.40
justDgmt (SB): $207.00
hydrostatic (BB): $116.50
Timinator99 (UTG): $159.50
wesside24169 (UTG+1): $190.00

Pre Flop: ($3.00) Hero is MP2 with A K
2 folds, mcglacker calls $2, Hero raises to $9, Mofessor calls $9, 3 folds, mcglacker calls $7

Flop: ($30.00) 4 K 8 (3 players)
mcglacker checks, Hero bets $23, Mofessor folds, mcglacker calls $23

Turn: ($76.00) 6 (2 players)
mcglacker bets $102

As far as playing against intelligent players goes, I normally just try to figure things out by myself, but in spots like these i feel lost. sometimes the fish show up with random **** that doesnt make sense and has no equity, but mostly they have the nuts it seems.

help me improve my fishing game

Tough spot, but I think folding is the best option here

set obviously
the last 10 times or so that a fish took a similar line against me, they had a set. this is why i made this thread

Blah blah blah, im not folding here ever, yada yada yada

but on a side note.....and no offense....

THIS THREAD SUCKS!! I mean just by ur title we already know u lost the hand and if we didnt know by the title we know by the start of the post where u call the guy an idiot. I mean im not tryin to be a jerk here but you pretty much set yourself up to get the crappiest strat advice you can get in a thread.

i worded it this way to encourage people to voice their opinion if it differs from what we know is going to be the popular one (lol shove). i wanted my thread to be biased, so it wouldnt just start and end with one guy saying "dont fold".

bottomline though... i dont think i could ever fold this, so whatever

You've never seen him before, but he's a fish and an idiot? Is this based on his buy in amount? Should we be varying our buy in amounts instead of our lines?

I agree. Besides, if OP knows it is a set for sure, what's the question? Fold in that case.

Also, OP's attitude sucks. People are allowed to limp and donk and do weird stuff, it is allowed. Seems villain is more intelligent than OP since he was able to put OP in a tricky spot.

chiren's mom can snap fold this.

when i'm in a spot like this, i do this:

think of what the hand directly worse than yours is. In this case its kq. Is villain ever going to take this line with kq? maybe .1% of the time. So you're either chopping, you're crushed or villain is playing a very bizarre bluff/semibluff.
In my experience, you're usually crushed here.
