Middle set...

Hi,

Just wondering if it's just a cooler when you run middle set, into top set (really dry flop)? No real action preflop.

All the money/chips went in before the turn.  

Is there any way to get away from this? Or should you always play, as, over time, you'll mainly be against drawing hands, two-pair, or top pair?

Thanks, Dan

    It happens now and again m8 - I have had quite a few recently - but you do win more than you lose imo so just a cooler m8 - chin up m8 :)

    Thanks for the support chaps...

    Played it back a few times in my heed, and would have been the world's tightest fold and prob as you say, will win more than I lose.

    Had a feeling it was going to be my night in the Open too.  Ah well, c'est la vie :)

    i ran quad kings into quad aces the other day in a live game it happens. In the situation you mention middle trips i always find them hard to fold, 90% of the time (bar a striaght or flush flop) you have to think your ahead and 90% of the time you will be

    You pray for sets and if I hit one on a dry board I do a little dance.  Once in a while you get set over set, really not too much you can do in that spot.  Take it on the chin and start again.

    In Hold Em it's just a cooler, in Omaha, not so, it's getoffable.

    aslong as your opponent isnt folding bottom set it's fine this also depends on how deep you are

    i mean if you are a million bb's deep playing a HU tourney and the loser gets shot in the head you could prob fold if he open jams the flop
