Need a line - flopped set (first post)

OK, so I suck and need to get better, so I'm posting hands I botched. This one certainly qualifies.

First the hand, then my thought process. No real read on villain, he had only shown down one hand, an AK that was beaten by a flush. However, he seems solid. But, this is a $5.50, so it's a fair assumption that everyone (myself included) is a donk.

Final Pot: t1950


My thoughts:

Pre-flop: Of course, an argument can be made to fold, but I like to play any small or medium pair cheaply from any position in the first two levels.

Flop: I didn't want it to get checked around with 6 players in the hand. I bet 125 because I thought it would clear out anything but an Ace or a flush draw. Figured I would re-evaluate on the turn if I got called.

Turn: One caller, that's good. Flush on the board, that's bad. OOP, I figured I check and see if I can define his hand by his bet (or check). Looking back, I'm pretty sure this was a mistake. He bets about 3/4 pot, and I can't figure what that means. But my gut says he made his hand. I call with redraws to the full house (9 outs?), although I now see I may not have had odds.

River: Still don't know what to do, so I check. I fold to his push, convinced I'm beat.

I know I played this poorly, so I'm wondering what anyone else does from start to finish, since I think I made mistakes on all streets. How many of you push, and where? I'm looking for someone to tell me WHY they would take another line, please, because I'm trying to learn.


Thanks and gl
