Default Re: I planned this all out, and I\'m wondering if I got really lucky

yeah...I considered this when I was betting, and I decided that if he didn't recognize the limp re-raise, he may not want to call a big bet without an ace...If I bet half the pot, he may call with a K or worse, and freeze me, when he would have mucked otherwise...

I decided that I was better off putting pressure on him, just in case

I disaggree (with whoever said to reduce the bet size)...

With "your set" you want to shut down this flop: it's a BIG flop and could really hurt "your hand" on the turn and/or river. Therefore you've got to bet it big, and take it down now.

Also, you've already clearly communicated the value of "your hand", so "slowplaying" is out of the question here. Again, if he's going to "chase", make him pay.
