Sometimes they're good sure

Unless he never 3bets, you're not putting him on a set. So he either has 2 pair, or you are ahead. He could have AK, KT, QTs, a bunch of things.

I've gone broke here before and therefore am not inclined to suggest that you do so as well.

Two pair is a big part of his range and that is a top ten worst flop for you.

I ended up laying it down, but OOP anything has been going pretty bad for me tonight, and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't letting myself get run over.

It is interesting to ask yourself what you think the other player thinks YOUR range is.

That's a good question, and I considered the possibilities he was doing this with AK/AQ/AJ, but then I reasoned, he has a very low AF, and even if he flopped a weak hand that I dominate, this is the wettest of wet boards to be screwing around with a weak hand.

It's entirely possible he put me on a weak hand though; I was raising a lot of stuff, and being forced off it because of OOP. I don't remember if this was one of the tables I was doing it at though, because I was trying 6-tabling for the first time tonight.

I don't know if I like it so much. Villain has a lot of good stuff for you in his range here. If we are deeper I like to raise the flop again, something like $15. Given that we have fairly average stacks you can take the risk and go to $12. I like that move.

That flop smacks his range haaaard and he has two pair here or at the very least a strong draw here a lot. I don't think folding the flop is that bad even.
