Smart push with overpair?

[wegs the wegs]

Been at the table for ten minutes and no real reads. I don't remember playing the villian before. Take a look.


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP1 ($18.60)
MP2 ($48.15)
Hero ($40.50)
Button ($46.55)
SB ($34.40)
BB ($12.20)
UTG ($38.70)
UTG+1 ($77.80)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls $2.50, MP1 folds.

Standard so far.

Alright so here is my line of thinking. He led out, so I figured the re-raise was standard with an overpair. Now his re-raise was unexpected. I thought that I was committed enough to push. I was way too involved in the pot to fold and if I called it would end up all-in on the turn anyways, unless maybe a 10 came out. I pushed praying for him to have A10 or JJ.

Final Pot: $82.75

Well I did get a stroke of luck. He showed 33 and my set trumped his. I should have known I was far behind, right?
Comments?

If I bet into you here on the flop, I generally have a set or 4 flush and a pair.

However, villain is most likely and idiot. So you raise. His reraise concerns me, but I reluctantly push it all in here, I think.

I would think that if he had hit a set he wouldn't bet that much right away since I was the raiser. Maybe that is just how I would play it. I also would hope that he wouldn't bet the pot with a flush draw, or was simply hoping that I had AK or something similar. I figured that the most likely outcome was A10.

Once he re-raised me I figured I had to go all-in. I couldn't fold an overpair with that much in the pot already.

Personally I hardly ever check raise with a small set, it gives away too much info, and if you check behind me a free look. I bet out especially at a pre-flop raiser. Your re-raise makes me think 10-10 for brief moment before I calm back down and convince myself you have a big pair, and 6 outs.

6 outs&gt;?

why do you think villain is an idiot ? He was the big stack at the table and I thought betting the pot with a set was good camouflage.
When the chips went in Villain had a 90/10 lead.

Sorry, didn't read close enough. I'll refrain from posting for a while.

Well enough of analyzing the other player. He was legit.

Should I have played it differently?

I may be the only one arguing to lay it down.

The only hand that might reraise that you have beat is a flush draw (which I don't think most are going to play this aggressively.)

The only other hands I can see playing this was are Aces, Kings, 2 pair (unlikely on that board) and, of course, a set.

The only way you're catching up is if you hit Queen (2 outs) and a back door non-nut flush draw.
