Re: (22) Second Set on a 2 flush board
Your line's not bad here. You've got three players, a scary board, and a great hand - but one that can easily be outdrawn with a T, K, A, or club.
I personally bet about 425 here...but potting it's not a bad idea, either. Bottom line is, if someone's got AQ they're going to give you action - if they're on a strong draw, many will call whether they're getting proper odds or not (and with you having a set, their true odds of drawing out are lower than they think). If nobody has these things, you're not going to get any action...but with three opponents, you can't give a free or cheap card.
Just remember, picking up the 495 right here is good -- someone shoving it in on a draw or one pair is better -- giving a cheap card and losing your stack is horrendous. You played it fine.
