Difficult decision.... two pair feeling a set is behind u...

After my recent bad beats on the 1/2 lvl ive decided to build a bigger roll before moving up again... so down to 0.5/1 we go!

I get dealt KQos UTG and do my usual 3BB raise.

My read on WRNGTRACKPOWER is that hes a total moron, he got no understanding of potodds, no understanding of outs, so in general nothing more than a fish, I figure my pair is good vs him. J Money on the other hand is a solid player. I put him on either a set or the flushdraw... ( reson I only bet 60% of the pot is that I wantet to save money in case of a reraise, to wich I would fold )

Okay I get the best card I can hope for. The fish pushes all and what to do now ??? I figure I take the chance that J Money got the set and put him all in. He instant calls and shows 66. Doh.

Afterwards I dont really know if I did anything wrong, maybe bet harder on the flop to exclude the flushdraw from J Moneys possibly holdings ??? Any other ideas ? Bad push on the turn ??? I dunno, next time ill prolly bet the flop abit harder.

some additional thoughs:

maybe just call the turn, then when J Money pushes I can fold and save 40 bucks ??? Seems abit too advances for theese stakes, but It woulda been right given the circumstances and the reads...I woulda just felt like a DONKEY had I been wrong about J Moneys hand lol.

nobody got any input ??

pay him off every time. I would

If you just call the turn and fold to a $40 push, you are playing extremely results oriented. (Rounded) turn betting alone would be 30x3 + 40 ~ 130. getting 4:1 with top 2 pair on a disconnected board will be a horrible laydown.

You forgot to add "Do you see why?"
