Thought this was a good hand for discussion, as I'm sure a lot of people would go broke with an overpair in this situation. I felt like this was an obvious laydown, but I almost got trapped until I stopped myself and rethought the situation.
2 things:
I think I *almost* raised the flop bet too much -- I was going to bump it to 200 -- and I believe this would have made it more difficult to play or at least cost me more than it needed to. His min-bet screamed "I've got JT", but it obviously didn't have to be, so I think my 150 raise let me find out as cheaply as possible. Also, I'm sure a lot of people would be tempted to continue with the hand and see the turn for a min-reraise, but I thought I was probably drawing nearly dead.
Just thought this would be a hand of interest due to the lack of post flop hands on this forum.
