Okay I usually don't do this (I just skrink away and read others)
I still don't have poker tracker or anything like that.

Scenario:
.01/.02 NL Holdem cash game.
Myself in the BB with KK
5 limpers. I raise it up to .06 3 fold..........

flop is J 3 8 rainbow I bet out a half size pot bet of 15 cents first caller mid position goes all in for .17 cents second caller calls herself allin for .24 cents more I call.........
MP shows pocket 3s for a set.........LP shows pocket Jacks for a set..........I am thinking Dang............ turn is an Ace, River is a King to give me the largest set. I win.

I don't do pot odds very well and such, but I was wondering, was this a correct call?

Raise more preflop - with 5 limpers you wanna raise 5-6BBs to try and get it 3-handed or heads up to the flop (though this may be pretty futile at micro nl, from my experiences :p).

Rest is fine. At micros other players have AJ/KJ/AK/TT/something totally random often enough here to make calling the pushes here fine, considering it's not that much to you to call.

I would have done the same. You could possibly put re-raiser on a set once the flop hit, but it would be tough to see 2 with a set. Strange to see a hand where 3 players hit the flop. I agree though, I would have bet higher preflop, especially at a micro table.

Ya. I would have probably done mostly the same except raise more preflop. It's tough to figure that your opponent has trips, but you have to analyze the way he has been playing and make your best guess on what he might have.

Thanks all. I appreciate the help.
Sometimes I don't raise enough preflop with my PPs and it ends up killing me later in the hand.
It seems the lot of the time if I do raise them that much Chris everyone ends up folding, which I guess isn't a too bad of a thing especially if there were alot of limpers to begin with.

Thanks again!
