Was I really dumb to make that big bet?

What do you think he has?

[/ QUOTE ] I think so. I think this is one of those cases where you're usually going to have anyone holding trips to fold, but you'll be called by anyone with a fullhouse. If you're going to raise, raise it the size of the pot. If they have a full house, they'll let you know.

If I was him, I'd only call you with a boat. But at the .02 tables, they could have almost anything.

If he had the boat, then that's tough break for you, but at that level, I wouldn't even think twice about getting all-in with the nut straight on that board.

Wouldn't SB be likely to raise many of the hands that fill up on this turn? KK-QQ almost certainly, I would think, but I guess you could easily have some incredibly stupid "slowplay," or else some mouse who never raises preflop at all at the penny-ante tables. Some people hate JJ for whatever reason. But I think you're either seeing KQ or your hand is good. Don't think much of that pointless push, though. Raise something reasonable; you've really jacked up the probability that a caller has you beat.

He had the boat...

[kurto]

That's why you don't overbet that. Had you bet the pot, he would probably have reraised you and you could have then folded knowing you were likely beat.
