Set when flush hits

I do not like the turn barrel that much. We are ahead/behind and should keep the pot small.

I see a lot of straight draws and the unfortunate fd. If a calling stations raises it's most likely he beats you big time, i'd just call the river but if he really as u said has conclusive calling stations stats... I would still call, we're talkin' about nl2 here.

We are hardly folding here...

I know it's very hard to fold a set but when a calling station wake up and show agression it's always the nuts. Keep it in mind.9

As played, I think betting the turn is a mistake. Also it is hard to fold a set considering the fact that he couldn't have a flushdraw on the flop considerably reducing the chance that he has a flush by the river. Altough you cannot rule it out entirely . He shouldn't have called the flop with ATs. But people play strange at the micros and so you cannot always rule out hands like that. If I played against a better player I would have a hard time putting him on only a flush, more likely a straigt or a set wich he chosed to slowplay.

I have no idea why you re-raised him on the river. Just call his raise.

I also don't like the turn bet that much (maybe we could make a small, 1/4 - 1/3 blocking bet or something with the plan of checking back river). As played, I think that the river is fine (calling or 3betting is the same since he has $0,03 left, I think others missed that), but I could also find reasons to fold.

I have folded in these situations vs calling stations and nits. However, even my coach says you should call as we do not have to win that often in most cases. So I tend to say, just call but def not raise here.

Ok, thanks guys!
