Just played this hand, did I leave money on the table?

I just played this hand, if I push the river, do you think he folds? I think he had a set (ill never know, thank you very much pacific), but I dont think hed call all in. But what if? he might have called more, but since he didnt reraise he suspected somthing. I didnt want to get him to make a good laydown, i wanted as much of his cash as possible, thoughts please:

PS Sorry I didnt doll it up, i dont often post real hand histories : p where are the forum codes to make my hands have all the pretty cards?

...stack sizes?

oops sorry....we both had roughly $55-65
This is 25 NL

I'd almost put him on A2 rather than a set, he was pretty passive thorughout the hand. I usually use bets like this. I'd like to know if this should be a push too actually. Think I'm losing some value against pretty good hands at the river too.

When a guy makes that play on the river, I invariably push the nuts.

He likes his hand a lot. He's putting in a big raise, and opening up for you to reraise.

I expect a call nearly every time he's not on a bluff.

I'd raise it to 3x his raise but not much more; a push would likely induce a good laydown and cost you some bets.

Herein lies the problem...without some specific ideas as to the player I'm not making this push. I value raise as you did. We have to believe that he is capable of calling the bet we make.

Seems to me you made a good bet at the end. You get 33 paid off on the river in a limped pot with the nuts...This doesnt happen very often.

PK

i like to push as well on the river.

however i'd probably bet the turn.

If you bet the turn the pot's big enough to push the river.
