Kind of a weird thing really... I guess it was all confirmed after the hand.
1/2 NL game, Venetian. Stacks vary from $100-300.I'm kind of card dead for about an hour or so, and it's about 1am.
Early position ABC playa ( with stack of $300) raises with   to $15. He's also kind of stuck from bad beats. I smooth call the $15 in middle position, because I am smooth like that. I'm holding pocket   with a stack of about $220. Late position caller behind me. He's got about another $70 behind. Pot: $45
Flop:   
He bets $30 into this pot. I move all-in quickly. LP calls for the rest of his chips.
I didn't know til after the hand that he'd folded that in that position. He was really, really worried about someone holding A-J for the nut straight.
It probably helped that the guy behind me called as well.
Either way, yeah i won the hand. Turn was the king, filling my hand and my bankroll.

unbelievable that someone would fold there... getting almost 2:1, even if you told him you had the straight he should still call... too many hands could push there... flush/straight draws... even only KK or AJ had him beat... did you make sure to ask when this guy is planning on coming back to the casino?

J9 doesn't have him beat?
Not a big fan of the fold, but if he decides he's up against the straight for sure, it's a good one. The idea that we never fold a set here is silly to me.
