    Typical stars setup hand.

    Stars is the only place on earth where you actually have to consider, if only for a moment, folding bottom set on a K45 board in an unraised pre-flop pot.

    No worries, man. I wouldn't fold here, and no one else on this site would fold, either.

    I never fold my set on that board. The odds of flopping your set are so low that if you fold when you actually do hit you'll be losing money in the long run. I'm estatic to see him push on this flop and can't wait to get it all in ready to scoop my pot. Unfortunately, you will run into the set vs set scenario. Just gotta get it in there and hope your set holds. GL
