Set vs Straight or Flush

moose

Am I a hammerhead for calling this? When he raised me I knew he had to have the straight or the flush on the turn. Call 1 bet and then muck to a bet on the river or muck right away?

I would have lost two more bets on the turn.

I don't think you can fold on the turn just for $4 more into a pot that is already $29. you're getting a bit better than 7 to 1 on your call to see if the river pairs the board (10 outs)... you can do the math.

SirWatts

I would also very often 3-bet the turn, depending on the player. Folding a set heads up in limit holdem is just ridiculous.

Monteroy

If he somehow reveals his cardsto show you his straight or flush you should still call his turn raise. Not quite sure how folding is a consideration given the pot size at that time.
