This is a good flop for me. I was thinking about flat-calling here(perhaps I should have?)

I think the SB was exploiting a hole in PP's rules. He bet a miniscule amount less than BB stack, hoping BB would raise him the extra $0.10 all-in for the sake of neatness. Supposing you then call, he can re-raise you all-in. This gives him a much better chance of getting all your money assuming he has the hand to do it. You threw him a curve by raising, but it didn't slow him down at all. I don't think raising an all-in where it is less than the min bet to call is usually allowed elsewhere. Is this right and/or make any sense?

Fold this hand preflop, or attempt to limp in and fold to the raise. You have a marginal high hand and no low. I'm guessing SB had a monster draw after the flop. You had top set, but he had A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]QQ or A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2JT [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]?
