This is ridiculous! I'll take chances in a cash game I wouldn't in a tournament situation. Even if I could put the guy on the straight (which I didn't, given that there was pretty significant pre-flop raising and I doubt if many could), when he went all in, there was $100 in the pot. He made it $250 total. That made it another $100 to me. I'll bet my set there almost every time -- what am I afraid of? Not a flush -- the flop was rainbow!! A straight? Well, if he kept 2-5 or 5-7 then he's going to beat me some but I'm still going to beat him with my FH 38% of the time. A straight draw? Again, I like my odds.
In the cash games I play, a move like he made is usually an over pair. Regardless, I just can't see my set being "basically worthless" in a situation like this, and I can't figure out the math that supports that contention.
