It’s not specific to this hand, but the mentality of being afraid to be shown a bluff is central to how a lot of calling stations think. If you play well, opponents will sometimes bluff you successfully. You can’t win every pot and you can’t catch every bluff.

But getting bluffed off a hand hurts my soul.

If you put an opponent on a flopped set, do you ever bluff this turn?
Overestimating our ability to narrow down a range is at times a bigger and more common leak than being a calling station

Booked the Flamingo until Tuesday. This is my drop dead must leave date, so my Vegas trip comes to an end.
This is everything I expect from a Riverman Vegas trip report!
I folded and it was set over set over set, would have won a $5k pot.

Has anyone pointed out that checking the turn might be where the hand went wrong?

I mean almost everyone here are recreational poker players at this point and this is a TR and all, so not meaning to insult you or anything, but folding there is insanely bad.
Playing solid poker doesn’t involve relying on crazy specific hand reading.

Even Riverman folding here hurts my soul. I want to scream at him across the miles and back in time: “NOOOOOOOO!!!”

It’s truly fine, I’ve already mostly forgotten about it. Was obviously wrong but whatever. I thought the turn raiser would have gone for a 3! on the flop with a set. Also he called the 230 completely without thought, like most people do with good draws.

I would never fold there, which is one of many reasons I don’t play nl cash
More food and butts, less poker
