Re-raise preflop, bet the flop.

Your mistakes are sitting with half a stack and flatting preflop.

I also recommend not to buying in short and/or re-buying if you lose a hand. I wouldn't re-raise here because you have a nearly unbeatable hand. Just call and hope initial raiser also calls.

You Could Flat MP2 turn raise and Hope SB calls. Somebody could of made a flush on the river or something funky. Your hand is completely unbeatable on the flop, so there is no real reason to play strong to that action.

on the turn, if you are sitting on a set, I think you shove (like you did) here....but in all honesty the only thing that even remotely worries you is a gutshot straight flush draw which is so unlikely its never even relevant here. I think you call behind and hope the original better calls here. You have position and what is about to probably be the absolute nuts. You calling on the turn also gives the other guy odds to call for a flush etc....in short my opinion, call turn, shove river no matter what.

Guys, the turn play doesn't matter. The fact is that hero slowplayed himself into a spot where he needs to take an awkward line on the turn. If he had played it faster preflop or on the flop, he'd have put himself in a position where he'd be more likely to get paid off.

Very true but as mentioned above he is very short stacked pre so when turn bets 7 it only leaves him 4 to raise. No one with a dEcent hand will fold to this.

You have the nuts, why bet it all when u have 1 more street?

Yea call the raise on the turn and maybe the sb puts more money in or even reraises all in on the turn. But bottom line you won the pot

aldito hit this right on

why are you sitting with half a stack?...if you wanna play with 10 bucks...play 10NL...DOH!
