This is "in fear of the set"? How 'bout in fear of the "nut flush" man? But, I really wouldn't be too afraid of the nut flush beating you, much less the set. Either way, in this spot you have to go all in. You have the best hand. Were you considering folding?

You made the right play, see? He's a 3:1 dog on the turn.

Thats harsh! If I had to K high flush
i would just try not to think about an Ace d
but he was sick for calling your all in
Btw do you get those statistics from Poker Office ?

in all fairness to him i could've been betting anything... TPTK for example...

he was calling 23.45 into a 70$ pot... he was getting almost the 3:1 he needed...

Whats the question. Are you afraid of pushing into a drawing hand?

Lesson 1: The vast majority of your "poker friends", like the poker community in general, has no idea what they're talking about.

I still don't see what you're questioning here, though? Like - is your question whether your all-in is too aggressive because it might push off weaker hands?

In my book this is fairly standard every time we think an opponent has a hand which he will be hard pressed to fold.

Figuring out why is easy by going through the possible river scenarios.

QFT..I don't think any one statement has more truth then this. No way your not going broke here unless you put villian on A Diamond or the board paired and you thought he had the boat.

Maybe this should be in the bad beat section because you played it right, had the best hand and got sucked out on.
