Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

I think a lot of us find ourselves playing our sets a little too slow and allowing opponents to catchup. I told myself I would not allow it to happen this time. Did I play this too strong? Thoughts on flop/turn would be appreciate.

Thanks,

Looks good to me on this extremely draw heavy board.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

I think you played it fine given that draw-heavy board.

I do think that in CO with one limper you need to raise this PF.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

Mandatory flop raise, might even want it bigger.

Turn bet can be a bit weaker since you're &gt; 75% to win against all but an oesfd.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

played too hard? no.
raise pf? yes.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

i raise pf, raise the flop more, and play the turn the same.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

let them check raise you on the flop with an underpair...they have no idea how powerful you are

Would you rather have lost the pot to a draw? Postflop, played fine.

Re: Flopped top set - played too hard?
 

This looks fine to me as well, with that draw heavy board I think your line looks good.
