    Even after Negraneu told the Nasseri and the table that Nasseri had aces, Forest misplays a set. Nasseri makes a raise pre-flop raise with pokect 5's -- no HAR this time, no deep thought process, just a quick raise. AK-AT, small pair, big/medium suited connector pre-flop raise with no HAR. On a flop of 523 rainbow, Negraneu bets out, Forest calls and Nasseri has this massive huge HAR (it looks like he's having a heart attack) -- Nasseri raises all-in. There's only two possibilities here given Nasseri's reaction and raising two players all-in and how he played his big pair (aces) -- Nasseri has pocket 3's or 5's. But Forest says, "I have to call". I just can't see someone like Ted Forrest not able to make this read. The reality is that even WCP can make mistakes

    Just a minor point, put Negraneau bets out on the flop, Forrest calls, Nasseri raises (not all-in!), Negraneau folds, Forrest backraises, Nasseri moves all-in, Forrest calls.

    Does that change anyhing about the post? Not really, but it might explain Forrest's assertion that he "had to call".

    Yep, you're correct.  I was focused on the Nasseri HAR.  I still don't get Forrest's "had to call" given the the information available and the amount he had to call.  I thought it was large compared to the pot and he didn't have odds even if Nasseri had a straight (could be wrong though).   Also, shows that bottom set can be a big money loser (Ciaffone outlines this nicely in his NL book) and he could have raised Negraneu, giving him some wiggle room if Nasseri comes over the top all-in.  But, that's just me.

    Cheers
