Default Getting away from TPTK?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (9 handed)

CO ($239.24)
Button ($38.55)
SB ($46.50)
BB ($22.70)
UTG ($45.50)
UTG+1 ($149.25)
Hero ($86.50)
MP2 ($47.71)
MP3 ($50)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $1.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $1, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $5</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 (poster) folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls $4.50, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $4.

SB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $20</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB raises to $41.5 (All-In)</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls $21.50.

Turn: ($100) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($100) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $100

On the all in check raise on the flop I was willing to bet that he had TT, but as aggressively as I had been playing recently it was possible that he was trying to check raise with AQ or something, I figured 4 to 1 on my money justified a call. This was a flop that I wanted to win right here, big enough pot and straight/flush possibilities out there, but was overbetting the flop the wrong move? Is there anything I can do to get away from hands like this or do I have to pay off the sets when they hit against me on great flops like this?

Default Re: Getting away from TPTK?

its a tough position. since has only 20 behind, and you are getting 4:1 on your money, its a pretty easy call. he will have a flush draw or a lower ace enough of the time. if his stack is any larger, it becomes closer. of course, you dont have to overbet the flop, so you give yourself a chance to fold if somone comes over the top. when you overbet, you better be calling a push by that stack
