Poker @ 5am EST on Christmas is dead, so this is the juiciest table I could find. Villain calls down light, and CO has shown some donk-ish ways, so it's possible villain is in to hit a flop hard so he can stack the CO. I'm playing to set mine on the cutoff, and here's the hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)

CO ($210)
Button ($97.05)
Hero ($99)
BB ($24.20)
UTG ($5.60)
MP ($105.95)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 icon_suit_club.gif , 9 icon_suit_diamond.gif .
2 folds, CO raises to $2, Button calls $2, Hero calls $1.50, BB calls $1.

Flop: ($8) J icon_suit_heart.gif , 9 icon_suit_heart.gif , 8 icon_suit_spade.gif (4 players)
Hero bets $8, BB folds, CO folds, Button raises to $16, Hero raises to $40, Button calls $24.

Turn: ($88) 4 icon_suit_club.gif (2 players)
Hero bets $57 (All-In), Button calls $55.05 (All-In).

River: ($198.10) A icon_suit_diamond.gif (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $198.11

Villain's min-raise either screams huge strength...or a medium made, vulnerable hand like 2 pair (in which case he raised to see where he was at), or even a combo draw with 2 hearts and a 10.
In this case, since he min-raised and you re-raised...and he STILL called, he obviously had a hand he was willing to go all the way with.

Having said that, I think your play is correct. You have the 4th nuts, and it's not likely he flopped a straight, since he probably would have put you all-in on the flop with that. And what's even better for you is that both the OESD and flush draws missed.

Now you have to decide whether or not he would have re-raised pre flop with JJ...which IMO is the only legitimate hand we are scared of here.

But regardless of what he has, this hand will be almost impossible to get away from, so he will get paid off all day in this situation. Meh. That's why I play limit smile.gif

What else do you want to do?

Seriously? Are you thinking you can find a fold because he showed you QT or JJ?

Curious, as to why you posted this?

I'm wondering if I overplayed my set. I guess not. I didn't lose the hand.

I've never used this sentence in my life. I suggest you don't either.

It's impossible to OVERplay a set at 6-max ('cept maybe 4 of one suit on the board...) . Overplaying an over-pair is something I've found to be quite common.

Never too wrong to get it in on the turn with a set on a non-flush possible board.
