Was this gambling or did I play this right?

It doesn't look like the entire hand history worked. Still based on what I see, you flopped top set on a rainbow board. Even with the possible straight this is a great place to get the money in!!

I didn't mean to post that. Sorry. The converter didn't work right. Either that or I didn't put the history in right. Since it posted then I'll clear it up by just pasting the history in here. No reads as I wasn't fully paying attention and had only been on the table a short time anyway. Since I already had 2 callers to the $4 raise I suspected that at least one would call the reraise. My question really is how bad a call was the $18?

You are about 1/3 to fill up on the river, and this is almost gauranteed to win you the pot. My only concern is that there could be other sets out there, or two pairs, which take out your outs. Sounds more like a straight (or two), and an overpair or two.

In any case, getting 3:1 on your money, this is a good (but high variance) play.

Also, re-raise the flop more when the action gets to you. To atleast 6-7 dollars.
