OK I've been kicking myself over and over again since last night over the hand I'm about to discuss. My questions are.....should I have been able to get away from this hand and make a lay down and what did I miss..... There were 177 people left in PM#23. I'm sitting around 55th at the time and habve great momentum......I'm in BB and I get QQ......villain is UTG+1 and makes a pot size raise all others fold and I reraise by betting he pot....Villain flat calls. Flop comes 835 rainbow.....I raise pot hoping to take it down there.....villain flat calls.....turn card is another blank ( I don't remember what the card was but it was by no means a scare card) I raise again with a pot size bet and villain pushed all in. Th this point I'm putting villain on JJ or top top.....snap call....cards come over and he hit a set of 8's on flop. Because he didn't make an intial significant raise I never felt for one second he had an over pair and of course I was right on this. I'm quite sure if I push preflop he folds but I'm wanting to get max value and wanted a caller....but other than pushing pre where could I have id'd that he hit his set???? Opinions.....please!!!!
