Flopped set

Analyze my play here Thanks

raZZe is playing very Aggresive

Pre-flop: So I raise and get re-raised and then a caller. Do I put in the last raise here with QQ or smooth call like I did?

Flop: I usually NEVER slow play a set, well here I did. Should I have Re-raised here or waited for the turn?

Turn: Another Club, Ut oh. Well I decide to check-raise here. Should I have bet right out?(especially with the 3rd club) So I get Re-raised, Do I consider laying this down here? I call.

River: Obviously feeling like I am beat, I check call here. Do I lay this down?

Well since you were against a flush draw on the flop. With 2 others in the pot.. another raise to make them pay to chase the flush.

After the flush hit your check-raise to find out if he may have hit the flush worked cause he re-raised you. You should have also re-raised on the river with the fullhouse which he probably would have re-raised you again thinking his flush was good.

The way i would of played this hand Sammy, i would of ended up losing more than you did.
I tend to push hard in Limit Holdem with pocket Queens.

Pre-flop: I would of raised again.
Post-flop: I raise everything here.
Turn: I still have to be aggressive, and would call a 3 bet.
River: Check or just call, the betting that would of ensued on the turn tells me what i need to know, not much point pushing here.

I doubt for one moment your opponent was ever going to lay his hand down after seeing the flop, he would of called anything to the river to hit his flush.

The way this hand worked out, i don't think any kind of play you make would make any difference what so ever.
Two good hands fighting it out till the finish.

Cap preflop (third best hand in holdem, 3-bettor is v aggro), raise having checked flop (you almost certainly have the best hand as it stands, make 'em pay as much as possible), lead turn and call down if raised (if the other two guys get into a raising war here you can probably find a fold somewhere down the line).

His flush was good. There is no full house.

Sammy, you've got to cap the bet with this hand pre-flop. Like Chris said, this is the third best starting hand. You want to get the most you can from it.

Post-flop: with that flush draw, I would have come out betting w/ the intention of capping, hoping to scare off a flush draw. (But, like ZZ said, chances are good that this guy will call down to the river in the hopes of making his hand.)

Turn and River: Once that third club hits, you've got to find out if he's hit his flush. You can pretty much bet he's made it if you lead out betting and get raised. Check the river--it's your call whether or not you want to hold 'em or fold 'em.

yup more aggressive betting PF and on the flop, then slow down a little when the 3rd club hits.
This is the thing i hate most about Limit holdem; you cant push people out of pots with big bets, just keep betting and hope they miss their draw. There was no way that this guy was folding preflop and especially not on the flop with that kind of draw; the only thing you can do is put in as many bets while you still have the best hand.
