Hero ???
My analysis: This was the worst turn card ever... my original plan was to make a medium-sized bet on the flop and then shove the turn, but after this card came, I decided to check instead to see how the villain would react. After the villain made this bet, I didn't know what to do... The fact that the villain called my 3bet preflop makes me think he has a hand like AJ, AQ, AK, JJ or QQ, all of which beat me (remember this is 2NL ZOOM poker where people tend to be really tight preflop). The only hand I can beat here is if the villain decided to play a hand like KQ, KJ or a low pocket pair, but the low pocket probably would've folded to the continuation bet. So it seems like the villain crushes my set here most of the time. I thought that there was a small chance I could improve on the river (to a full house or quads), but I wasn't sure if I was getting the right price to call the $0.58 bet, plus it would be hard to fold on the river when I've invested so much into the pot, which is why I thought it would be easier to just fold on the turn.
Thoughts?
