Or is it just me?

I have a hell of a time laying down big PP to sets, and I end up losing to them all the time.

Do other posters here get away from hands like this, or is this just a cost of doing business...

I realize the push on the turn seals the hand, but I don't want to let the idiots two pair me or otherwise draw out on me cheaply...

thanks,

Yep, you have no reason to think that you are behind, Plus, being OOP you cannot just check thru the turn. I thin you could have just bet the pot size as well, thi sgets worse hands to call more. I think overbetting causing only stronger hands to stay in against you.

i would just bet more on flop... i like the PFR...
oh, and you cant really get away from this ..
