NL holdem question

[BlibbityBlabbity]

I may be completely wrong here, so I'll ASK instead offering this as advice. If he knew he had you beat with a set (or maybe top two pair) wouldn't he have made a smaller raise that you would have been willing to call. If he put you on TPTK (or even two pair) and held a set, smooth call down to river and then make a raise that will get called. This raise made it wrong for a call. A pot sized bet somewhere in there might have forced a re-raise that would have told you you were beat earlier in the hand.

Not sure what limit we are talking (or position for that matter).

That said, I think laying it down would be the play here unless you have a read that makes you confident you have the best hand (which you said you didn't).

with only top pair, top kicker, you are probably in trouble here. that huge raise at that point in the hand just screams strength to me.

the other guy probably made a mistake by raising that much, as he likely would have maximized his profit by raising a much smaller amount. it does seem like he slowplayed a set though.
