flop bet too big? or should ive just put it in on flop to protect against draws? would have shoved any turn anyway... could have played c/c til i hit my boat to beat a possible slowplayed monster, but this is a no brainer imo, i'm still ahead against cold called overpair, 2 pair, (monster) draws...

thx & best regards

My main issue with this hand is playing it for set value. You're calling off a big chunk of your stack (300 chips) preflop. If you wiff this flop, you just took a pretty decent hit to your stack. There's a lot of limpers in front of you. I shove this preflop all day at a table this loose. Picking up that 950 chips preflop would be mucho-nice. I just don't think you're quite getting odds to set-mine here. The general rule is 12:1, and you don't have 3600 chips left that you can earn if you hit your set.

After the flop, you should have shoved, since any bet commits you.

I dunno about shoving this preflop - against an average UTG raising range we're pretty crushed here. We have a comfortable stack, no need to go jeopardising it all in a situation like this.

Preflop is the only questionable part of the hand for the reasons c9h already posted, but I probably toss this pf as opposed to shoving. As played, the flop is absolutely fine, you were just unlucky to run into such a huge hand (and you can't really allow for someone calling a UTG raise with J9s, heh).

He may be calling a chunk of his stack, but with a table this loose I think Implied odds play a big part in playing for set value, if he didn't hit easy fold and still has 2400 (M=16)which is plenty to play on this table.
And as for the push on the turn, you want to go all-in here to chase away any drawing hands.

thx everybody

ch9 youre right regarding my stack size : call for set value. but since this loose bigstack called, i just wanted to play that pot for eventually gettin even tripled up. and yeh, wouldve had enough chips remaining if i had to fold the flop
