Was my PF raise too small at 2.5xBB? I was hoping to get some action as my last couple of 3x raises only won the blinds.
Was my re-raise to UTG too large? I didn't put either of opponent's on flopping sets. Since they both cold called my raise PF, I didn't think KK was out there, nor 44/55.
What about my push after MP2's all-in and UTG calling? Should I have just called also and folded on the turn? I did have a shot at a backdoor nut draw. It would have been a tough decision for me to lay down on the turn.
Do you think villain was playing reckless by risking so many of his chips on this play? He was calling two people who went over the top of his initial raise with 2nd pair and a weak draw.
I know this is a Bad Beat but I'm looking more for advice on if my playing was correct, regardless of results. I can live with busting out as long as my play was goot.
Thanks, Steve
