I didn't want to blow anyone out of the water by betting too much. Is the flop raise a good amount to keep hands I beat still in?

With no reads, do you agree if I get re-raised all in then it's an auto-fold?

raise size is fine. i'd actually even make it a little smaller ($1.80-$2.10), since it's not that drawy of a flop and your raise is larger than pot size, but at these stakes it's still probably fine. and if i get re-raised all-in i'm auto-stacking off. this is the type of board where it's reeeeally unlikely for anyone to have two pair, so to fold you'd have to put them on exactly a set. 10NL players are notorious for playing top pair hands like the nuts, so you can't put them on a set only if they shove. they could also have some sort of combo draw or a weirdly played overpair

Yeah, what combu said. Raise should be a little smaller and I'm never folding this.

Thanks, I play at pokerstars and I don't know if if I have a bias toward remembering bad things or what -- but before I started using a HUD I used to auto-shove all the time as well and I didn't think I saw enough hands like TPTK or NFD that I'd beat. Maybe I'll take a look at my database to see if this was the case.

I can't believe that I played so long without using a HUD! Of course if villain is a loose maniac, I'd autoshove in a heartbeat knowing that he'll have TPTK or NFD enough to make it +EV.
