$1 $2 NLHE at casino. I'm in cutoff seat, raise to $12 pre-flop. 5 callers. Flop comes Q 7 8 rainbow. I bet out $35, button calls and villain in middle position (tight passive) raises to $135. I'm thinking he plays so few hands and never raises . . . he has a set . . . after long thought, I fold and button calls (tight aggressive); I'm glad he calls, thinking I must have been behind. Turn is an 8 (pairing the board) River is a J showdown the villain in middle position shows 2-pair (Q's and 8's with a J kicker from board), button wins with 2-pair (Q's 8's with Ace kicker in his hand). Middle position had the lead until the board paired with 8's. Bad fold by me, apparently (unless the board didn't pair). Retrospect I'm thinking should never have folded as I had the overpair . . . thoughts ???
