i play a lot more hi-lo than straight high, and i always have a tough time deciding wether or not to double bet when i pair my door card. generally, i'll go ahead and do it, but the table was tight and i wanted some action on my set. I thought everybody would fold if i double bet; I had been playing my standard TAG game, but had only been involved in about 10% of the hands due to a crappy run of starting hands, so i assume that the table thinks i'm a rock. (if they're even paying attention)
After their calls, I assumed that the A/images/graemlins/club.gif T/images/graemlins/club.gif was on a flush draw, and the 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif 8/images/graemlins/club.gif was on a straight draw or a big pair in the hole. if they were both on draws, their draws were fairly dead, and i feel comfortable pushing hard on fifth and beyond the hand and making them pay to draw out on me (esp since i might boat anyway) and i wanted to represent two pair so they would continue with their draws (the other T out helped me with that, i think). I didn't think that EVERYONE would call, though i was not particularly concerned about the other two players in the pot.
good play/costly mistake? i know that i should be more inclined to double bet into loose opponents, but how about into a bunch of potential draws? it's tricky because my set is ahead either way, but i'm trying to strike a balance between A: disguising my hand, B: getting action on my set, and C: trying not to give them the correct odds on a draw.

seat one is a good player and has like $400 in front of him. he's tight though, and would've raised if he had anything better than a pair of jacks.

my bet screams 'flush draw'... why is he raising? i thought he might just have a pair of jacks and was trying to push out that Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif... either that or he hit his kicker and has two pair.

OK, i have a flush draw and two overcards to his presumed pair of jacks (minimum hand i put him on, more likely two pair). my flush draw is kind of dead, but i should keep pushing here, right? (BTW, i am DONE with weak-tight play, i am now startng to be concerned that my play is tending towards being too aggressive in general, even though these hands aren't particulary representive of that)
