The reason for my somewhat small flop bet is I had been making lots of continuation bets around this size recently with some whiffed overcards and had to lay some down. I thought about 3 betting the flop, but is this an easy muck on the turn? I put a set in the possible holdings of villain after the flop C/R but after the big bet again on the turn it seemed more and more like he had a vulernable hand(2 pair at most) and the more I thought about it the more I thought he had some kind of big draw like A9c or TJc etc. What are your thoughts on this?
