How well did each player play their hand and why?
meh, I'll have a go at this.

Chardrian is right to raise a premium hand.
Homebush could have pushed over, but obviously decided to see a flop and use position before deciding to commit the rest of his stack on what he probably thought was a coinflip. I can find merit in him pushing over, but I can see why he wanted to play it a little more cautious.
however, I think his call set BigT to make his squeeze play, thinking he may be able to drive you both out of teh pot with some strength. However, I don't see how he could call and play for a set at this stage given the size of the blinds relative to the stacks, so it was push/fold for him IMO.
You then call and presumably are willing to take on a pair - however, I might be a bit concerned if you thought u were up against a pair and a weaker Ace and were still willing to take this on.
Homebush must now be concerned, but probably figures his JJ is good and could be up against AK and AQ (or worse)

All in all, I think everyone played it ok.

How'd I do Chard?
