I always have trouble playing these hands and extracting value. When I hit my set out of position against a large raiser who I put on a large PP, I always try to lead out and hope they raise over the top with an overpair... But that looked wrong here.
Relavant stack sizes: Hero has a full stack which is $1000. Button, BB and UTG all have $800. UTG+2 is short at $120.
PREFLOP: Hero is dealt [10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif, 10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif]at UTG+1
UTG calls $10, Hero calls $10, UTG+2 calls, folds to the button who jacks it to $60, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, hero calls, UTG+1 calls. (POT: $300)
FLOP: [10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif]: SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets 180, UTG+2 folds, Button calls, everyone folds. (POT: $660)
TURN: [J /images/graemlins/spade.gif]: Hero bets $450, Villian Folds.
The turn card blew and I figured I might be beaten with a flush or a set of jacks but I would have to call an all in raise. I was trying to bet him out if he had a pair with a flush spade.
In retrospect, I'm thinking I would've made a lot more if I had checked to the button and trap the field of callers for a big Check-Raise. But maybe this was the right play since you shouldn't slowplay or give out free cards in a pot this large from that preflop action.
