This hand just had me scratching my head a little bit. Wondering if I should of raised preflop, and how much. I probably played it wrong post flop as well. I didnt have any good reads on anyone either... buy in is $109 btw.

Help...?

Not sure this will help you, but I probably would have played it the same way. This early, I'm probably not going to re-raise pre-flop but just call and hope to flop a set.

The flop didn't make your set, but you still have an overpair and the t30 looks like a weak continuation bet, so I like the pot sized re-raise.

You can't really like the turn once he called your re-raise, so I think you were correct to fold to his big raise on 4th street.

Anybody else?

I'd probably play similarly.

Another line might be to see a card before raising. You don't wanna get all in on the flop and would like to keep the pot small. You're a dog against AKs of hearts on the flop.

JJ,TT,99 any hand like that is going to be tough to play here. I don't think I re-raise here preflop. I'd probably of check raised less on the flop.
