I'm just starting out in PL. Table is tight PF, with people folding to EP raises but without a raise, there's usualy a limper or two. No specific opponent reads.

In retrospect, that was a weak raise and an almost as weak re-raise but they both had position on me and if I don't get my set on the flop I'd have been folding anyway. Would it have been worth calling an additonal 3 small bets to see the flop with only 2 others in the pot with you? If there were 1 or 2 other limpers or callers I think I might have.

I actually don't feel bad about this one. No telling if MP1 would have been pushed out even if I potted each betting round. By the river, I was probably up against at least a bigger set or a straight (MP1's pot bet on the river screams a set of Queens. Maybe AT). Had I stayed in, I'd probably have lost half my stack or more. What hand do you folks put MP1 on? AsTs or QQ is what I'm thinking. Maybe Qsxs but I doubt that (though on Party, it's hard to put it past them). No way you get someone off a flush draw in limit, but is PL any different in that regard?
