Was the flop 3-bet correct? I had a vague notion of protecting my hand from people drawing to the straight or any backdoor flush at the time.

And given that the button capped the flop, should I have check-raised him on the turn? Or was making sure it didn't get checked through more important?

I think I bet the flop, but c/r is cool too. Looks great to me. Yes, 3-bet the flop. Get in as many bets as you can. If you are against a bigger set, so be it.

This is fine. Get your money in. But I'd bet the flop.

With crappy position and a lot of flop action, keep pushing.

You made the right call. Don't let the turn get checked through. You played it well.

Bet the flop. The check/3-bet screams huge hand. And when the button caps the flop, I would bet out again on the turn and river and pray to be raised -- kinda suprised the button slowed down as soon as he did.

Button showed 22 for flopped bottom set -- he showed a lot more restraint then I would have. Maybe my check/3-bet tipped him off and I lost money because of it. Won't happen again /images/graemlins/wink.gif

He was afraid of 34s and praying for the board to pair. Reasonable given you're in the SB.

When the one card straight draw requires a trey or four to be completed, I am usually a bit less worried about protecting my hand and far more worried about getting in more bets. So, in this smallish pot, to ensure tranquil single bet at a time action I favor betting this innocent flop.
