With a decent sized preflop raise, and a decent sized opening bet, the guy has to put you on good cards. I assume he turns over trips. It seems like the other guy would have to have at least 2 pair or another set to call, but some people get wacky with straight draws sometimes.

I would definitely raise more preflop. There's $11 in the pot already when it gets to you; I think you should at least come close to potting it at $15. I'd probably make it $14, personally.

You can't get away from this on the flop, but you probably wanted to play against fewer opponents.

This is definitely right although I would probably raise 20$ preflop. When one comes in for 7$ the pot is 18$ and its a domino effect... the other morons assume they have odds to chase 7 for 18, 7 for 25, etc. Definitely bet 15-20 preflop imo

Main opponent had the expected 33 for bottom set. Shortstacked opponent had 99.

I agree that I should have reraised much more preflop. It's tempting but wrong for me to try to keep people in.

One thing that I don't understand is that if I make it 20 here with AA, am I required to do the same with JJ (or limp with it)? If I make smaller raises with weaker hands, then I am afraid of giving away my hands. This probably doesn't matter for Party 100, but for bigger games I would like to do the right thing.

[amoeba]

so main opponent makes quads to take down pot?

[felson]

Yes. I was behind on the flop. Sorry it was unclear.
