Probably the biggest limit pot I've seen in a while ... thanks to me! Is anyone not ramming and jamming as much as I did?Loose $.5/$1 game on FTP.I'm on the button with 3 3 UTG raises, MP calls, CO calls, I call (normally I wouldn't, but the table is loose enough that I know it may be worth my while).Flop: 3 5 9 UTG bets, MP raises, CO three-bets, I call thinking I'm still best, UTG caps, all 4 call.Turn: 3 5 9 J UTG bets, MP raises, CO calls, I three-bet, UTG calls, MP caps, all 4 call.River: Turn: 3 5 9 J 4 UTG checks, MP bets, CO calls, I raise, UTG folds, MP calls, CO calls. .Too aggressive, or just right for bottom set with no apparent draws hitting?

If you won this hand you need to buddy list everyone in that hand and search for the mevery time you sit down.But I think you may have lost to a set of Jacks. Flop is ok, but on the turn I'd start to worry a little and wouldn't raise anymore.

I think MP probably has JJ. I would have jammed like you though. Probably why I have a leak in my limit game.

UTGMegaDonk bet/raised four times and didn't even call on the end. He did way more to jack this pot up than you did.I would have played it the same as you did...but don't give yourself too much credit for this huge pot. :wink:

Huh?

You can't possibly be good in this spot. Tough to fold though.

Nice guesses everyone - you guys pretty much hit it perfectly. MP had pocket jacks for a set on the turn, and CO had pocket fives for a better set on the flop (!). I was new at the table, so I didn't have much of reads on these guys; if I had known some of them were tight and non-maniacs, I suppose I wouldn't have raised the turn. I have no idea what UTG had (AK?), but whatever it was he shouldn't have stayed in the hand.I guess the question is, on a fairly drawless and unpaired board, when do you stop raising your sets and beginning worrying about bigger sets? I think the flop being capped (although I didn't do that) wasn't bad, but on the turn maybe I should not have three-bet it and allowed it to be capped. It may have happened anyway - but do I make an incredible laydown to a capped turn with a set of 3's?! Anyone folding this then?
