Default I figured push or fold....

My first thought on the play was -- who makes this bet if they hit the set? but thinking back, pot bet when worried about a flush paired board might be reasonable.

I can't really see one 3 here, if he hit the quads oh well. I can see A9, but not this bet from 99, he'd want me to catch my ace or the flush.

The overbet was to drive "dogg" out. Tell me exactly how stupid this all was. It did occur to me after the fact that "dogg" could well have called PF and checked the 99.

You are only getting called when you are crushed.

edit: and your title, why do you think only a push or fold is the play here? How about just a good post-sized raise?

Because I wanted "Dogg" out with his AKs flush draw.

I figured Harrison would call with what I figured was A9 or a flush draw. I think I included way too much fold equity against "dogg", and over looked a play from him.

Villain has only $37 guys, so push and pot bet are the same thing.
