Final Pot: t1880
I was figuring to test the waters with the flop bet, looking for the A (Ok, not necessary, A would have bet anyway). In hindsight my reraise all-in makes my minbet all the more indicative of the set. But with TWO in the pot, in this early of a level, an open-ended drawer seemed entirely possible. Plus with the off chance an A will call, I let it rip.
What do you think? Smooth-call, check-push the turn? Price them in with a reraise? Be content with the 330 chips?
Thanks in advance.
