Flopped set with a fair amount of action

[Costanza]

I usually don't slowplay sets, but I wasn't afraid of the board on the flop. I think I took about 0.0001 seconds to re-raise all-in.

I would have raised on this flop the first time action came to you.

You are given T9 a grea price to hit their straight now.

If your up against 88 or KK - so be it, but don't let the straight in there cheap.

Looks fine. The only interesting thing I see is UTG's actions. Wonder what he had. He minraises to 60 then folds when it gets raised to 180. Its a $11 SNG so he could have a gutshot for all I know.

[Apathy]

Would the SB check reraise with a draw? That seems quite unlikely so the question just becomes how best to get the money, knowing you are way ahead. I think that calling and raising the turn is probably better at the 10s then the line you took, but it is opponent dependant.

I agree that this is not a good place to be smooth calling a bet of 60. You're just begging to be drawn out on. This wasn't raised PF, so there could be anything hanging around out there (not that stupid people wouldn't call with crap if it was raised, because they will). I'm especially confused because you call the 60 and then push the 180...are you hoping to get an overcall by someone that thinks you are stealing? Otherwise, wouldn't you want to raise less and hopefully suck someone with KJ or KT into calling?

I think you should have raised the 60 to maybe 150-180. Assuming you just called, you should reraise the 180 to 400-450. It's not that you don't want the chips in there - you do. You're getting called by a hand that beats you for sure if you go all in, so there's no benefit from that angle. Reraising will give incorrect odds to anyone to call, but hopefully they call with second best anyway where they might fold to the all-in. Pump that hand for all it's worth.

[Unarmed]

That is a very bad push...
SB just announced he has two pair. Don't do him a favor and tell him you have a set. Its HU now, so smooth call, he'll put you on a draw and bet the turn for you.
