So you won, right? I hope? The SB didn't have J-J I hope...

You can't really be beating yourself up for calling off your stack with a set after it limped around preflop can you?

[Mad Genius]

Yes. I did win. But I feel pretty dirty about it. SB had T9 and at the time it was clear as day to me. He's no maniac and I know he's not gonna re-raise me when I am essentially playing with my cards face-up. I re-raised a raise and unless he sucks at reading hands that means I have a set...or a straight. I was actually trying to force myself to click the fold button, but sometimes it just seems like play money. ANyone ever get that feeling? I'm 100% sure I wouldn't have made this call no matter how tilting I was if I had to reach into my pocket and pull out $350 in bills.

I dont think I wouldve folded there. Tilt or not.
Most people arent goin to reraise all in to that large an amount with a flopped straight. If it happens to be the time that they did have it, you still win 1 out of 3.

I think the call is +EV

[Mad Genius]

Really? Well, what do you put a solid player on when he makes that move? [Tc]? 77? J8?
