Default Re: Flopped my set...could I have gotten the rest of his chips? ($20+2

[ QUOTE ]
I do admit, and knew at the time, that I was gambling a bit there.

So I limped under the gun for t30, looking to see a cheap flop, which seemed reasonable at the time. There was another caller for t30 and then the raise for t130, plus the blinds for another t45. So I was looking at call t100 and the pot was t235 at that point.

I thought there was excellent chance, given the action so far at the table, that he just had overcards or trash, and that if I didn't hit my set I would fire once at the flop and try to take it down; if I got significant resistance I could get away. If I hit the set I would soften up a little and trap an overpair and double up. It all seemed reasonable at the time.

I have been changing my game a little bit to include more trapping, and this prompted my call here getting a little better than 2-1 pot odds.

When you flop a set, he has an overpair. When you hit nothing, he has two big cards.
