You played this pretty aggressively. The c/r on the flop
from a limper would suggest a small set. I would slow down
on the rest of the hand from there.

A read would help a lot to know if he's pulling a move or
really hit his set.

Way overplayed. Dude, stop just looking at the pretty two cards in front of you.

Baring any reads on UTG, his pf limp-call 2, combined with the check-three bet on the flop kinda feels like 5's or 3's that hit a set to me. It's a fairly drawless board, so he's not pumping a draw on the flop here.

I think I probably slow down when he doesn't slow down on the turn.

(utg+1 looks like an over pair to the board that can't bring themselves to fold?)

UTG: 55
UTG+1: JJ

When i was playing i was thinking there is no way someone would play small pocket pair versus a raise+reraise. so when the flop came 9 high rainbow, i figure i'm definitely ahead... then when board doesn't pair, no flush hits, and board is 9 high at the river i figure no way someone has me beat... who the hell plays 55 for 3 bets preflop?

anyway, i agree alarm bells should have gone off when he check raised me on the flop... thanks for the help.

I think the question should be "Who the hell folds 55 for 2 bets after limping in UTG?"

When I have 55 and there's this much action preflop, I'm hoping you're thinking that.

Massively overplayed. I'd stop at the turn raise.

A check-raise 3 bet is natures way of telling you you are beat.

*grunching*

I'd slow waaaaaay down after that sobering check-raise 3-bet on the flop (after he limped preflop). He's screaming at you that he has a set. Now I'll go read the results that will probably show he had some BS like A5 and I'm just being weak tight.
