It's never too early to go broke with a set.

yeah, hero needs to take another action on the flop, it never got back to him.

I don't know why the hand didn't post correctly. Here's what happened. The MP who made the large raise had Q9 of diamonds giving her a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. The other caller had two pairs. That doesn't really matter from my point of view in this hand though because I had to either go all-in or give up my hand.

With a huge raise and a caller should I have given somebody credit for the straight? And even if I did think somebody had the straight should I still have moved in all my chips since the girl who raised me put in enough that she was almost certain to call for my whole stack? (A set has roughly a 33% chance to beat a made straight).
