Default Re: A middle set hand

I like the call preflop and the raise on the flop.

I think the $30 bet on 4th street is terrible. OK it gets a small amount of extra money into the pot, but if you are almost certainly ahead why not bet the whole pot? Perhaps you felt UTG was trapping you with AAA and were intending to fold to a raise. It's certainly possible.

You might as well put in your last $40 on the river, UTG will be getting 6 to 1 and may make a crying call with 1 pair or 2 pair or a smaller set. Most importantly, he cannot raise you.

I think the other two players overplayed their hands preflop, although with 5 other players and closing the action I wouldn't fold BB's hand. UTG made a slightly loose call on the flop. BB played the hand fine.
