I had a good feeling in the other hand that I was up against the set. It's the only thing that made sense against that player, and it turned out to be the case. I'm saying, if you don't have a good read or really feel (instinct) like he has the set, you move all in. If you have a read or just really feel that he has a set, then think about it and a fold could save you lots of money. Otherwise, push. I have been in several hands where I floped 2 pair and was sure I was up against a set and folded and I turned out to be right. You might not always be right, but if your reads or hunches are

The only way you fold this hand is if you have a real good read that he has the set of 4s, very very unlikely a set of 10s or Qs. If you aren't 95% sure he has the set, push all your chips in because you are ahaid.

So I should or shouldn't have folded that?

hmmm. Thats exactly what I was thinking. The only thing that gave me a bit of trouble was that I thought if he had a set he would want to call, not re-raise. Re-raising with a lower 2 pair or top pair flush draw would make sense, but again, calling would probably be the better play with a hand like that. The only hand that it made sense to me for him to push that hard with was a set of sevens, but I wasn't sure if he would want show me that much strength. I nearly folded, but grabbed my balls and pushed all in. He called with a set of sevens.

This is in a $.25/.50 ring game.Im in the BB with KJ. 3 people call the blind and the SB calls. I check. The stack sizes are (SB:$65.60, me:$49.30). Flop comes down Kc Js 7c. SB bets $2, I raise to $5, next 3 people fold. SB takes a while, then raises to $17.50. What should I do?I figured he is unlikely to hold a hand like AK or KQ; KJ, K7, or J7 are possible, he could possibly be on a flush draw straight draw with Q10, but it doesn't make sense for him to re-raise me. Pocket kings or jacks don't make sense, and the only other hand that would have me beat would be a set of sevens (a

Quitting seemed like the logical choice, but it seemed like that I couldn't get a hand at that one table. The other table I was doing alright. I thought that the odds of my hitting my hands and my oppenents not hitting their draws in big pots would increase as the bad streak continued, so I was trying to play good poker and use their knowledge of my drought to my advantage. I like some of the other strategys people posted, but leaving the game probably would have been the best idea. Thanks guys.

This past night I was playing $.25/$.50 blind ring game on Fulltiltpoker. I had just gotten busted from a 320 person tourney ($10 +$1) at 120 place after 2 bad beats. (I called an all in on the turn with a pair of tens, my read was right and my oppenent had pocket threes. He hit a 3 on the river. I was near my table chip lead when I lost that pot, cut my stack in 1/2. 10 min later my stack was the same and I trapped the big stack with a set of 10s. the flop was 10 K 4 rainbow, having raised preflop, then a pot sized raise on the flop, I put him on AK or KQ. I called. The turn was a
