Bad AK fold?

Bad fold?
His play really confused me. On the flop he was representing set. A min reraise to a bet on the flop is not something you see often with a flush draw. I didn't have him noted so I couldn't formulate much of a read. So I call, planning to check/call the turn.

All the sudden he bets 15$! Now the other day, someone played a hand WITH a set exactly like this (only he pushed all in on the turn), and I called with my overpair, only to lose a full buy in. So now I have replays of that hand history running in my mind, and decide to muck it considering I don't have much invested in the pot.

Looks like the guy just sat down and was forced to blind in. He could have anything there. I see too many guys hold onto their hand if forced to post blinds to a raise, in this case it wasn't real big compared to his chip stack.

Yeah I think I fold too, give him the benifit of the doubt once, once he shows me that move we go to war next time I have a big hand.

Anytime someone overbets like that it's suspect to be interpreted as a bluff/semi bluff. It's either raise or fold, see where you stand.

yup. lean towards folding if you have no read or don't have any idea who this guy is. . .

I really wanted to reraise his ass all in... but all I had was TPTK, and that damn hand from a few days ago where I did do that was still burning in the back of my mind.

I'd fold it again though.
