Ok so this is one of my biggest issues so far.

The amount of money im losing against other players sets is huge. Im talking NL2-NL10 here. Now to be more emphatic i got used to play around a huge amount of tables. That big volume made me have the "instinct" that a villain is at this time, holding a set.

Made some discipline laydowns, but sometimes i found myself in a no-fold spot, and my read was wrong and player was either holding a overpair (lower than mine), or anything like that.

My question is, how do you guys have a position over trips? What info on the player you take account to make yourself believe that he has it?

Oh just to make clear here, i am talking about usually, 3betted pots, where villain is oop. (FR & SH).

thought process:

did villain limp?

did villain flat a raise?

how does villain play on flop with broadways.

how does villain play on flop/turn when he has a small pair and hits/misses etc?

does villain flat 3bets with sets or 4bet them vs your player type?

in micros villains tend to minraise with sets. if before they were rerising X3 and then on a rainbowy flop they minraise your cbet - its set probably.

check it: min raise data analysis

obviously doesn't just apply to minraising but standard raising too. this is a pretty enlightening read. helped my game out and confirmed a lot of suspicions!

This is amazing. I'm always having a look through 2+2 and rarely find something this constructive. Very nice link!

Yeah I find the min raise is a deffinite tell of a set with low cards on the board. Another obviouse tell is when villan calls/min raise the BB pre flop you raise then villan calls your raise. Flop comes dry or semi dry all low cards if villian all of a sudden bets or raises you on the flop or turn with all cards less then a 10 you better get ready to fold those aces.
