Live Cash - Anything I can do about this?

Cheers Steve, and you are right I did mis-calculate the pot odds in the OP (for some reason I had taken my stack as being £150 not around £200). Which I guess shows I did not think enough about it when I was actually playing the hand.

The player type is what is making me think I could have got away. He was in every other pot for three hours and had not raised a bet once (he had bet himself but had never made a raise pre or post flop). I don"t think I ever could fold here.

The player in question I had seen him call down a couple of times with top pair hands so I had to put him on better than that.  Does this help with post flop tendancies? I think he also called a couple of small bets with TT on an A high board not that this is really relevant to this hand. The main thing was I had not seen his raise before.

I still don"t think I can ever find a fold here but I think maybe a good cash player might just manage it against this player often enough to be correct? Is this ROT?

btw he had Ks-9s and won the pot after I called.

AMRN:
Thing is Steve, you"ve given every argument for folding - you"ve explained how his tendencies suggest he has the goods here... but you still call anyway.    If you are able to narrow his range to only a made flush (ie no marginal hands, draws, or air), then the call is borderline at best.... it only really becomes +EV if his range contains hands other than the made flush.

Mikeyboy9361:
I was calculating the fact that you had only £40 invested and therefore had £157 behind, then read Steve"s post  :P. From what you have said about this guy, I am pretty sure you called knowing you were behind, but just couldn"t lay down top set, and probably most of us couldn"t particularly as a lot of these low level cash games are crazy spewy!

deanp27:
I wouldn"t contemplate folding any set and would also struggle to fold AQ here for what it is worth. I think folding top set here against any player is errr well tight in the extreme.

Try stoving his range and see how much equity you have if you really feel the need.

Thing is Dean, through reads, the decision has already been made that the other guy"s range is very thin, probably consisting of only flushes. Against that narrow range, we have 38% equity, and pot odds of 39% - hence my point that calling is marginal.

but I agree with your sentiment, and no I would never fold here.
