I'm happy with how I played this hand postflop....My question revolves around how I played it *preflop*. UTG raises and someone cold-calls behind him...Both have position on me, so do I raise more here? Less? Keep it the same and "ohh well that's poker?"

I kept the results in on purpose, because it really doesn't matter how this hand played out....just wondering what I do here preflop? Both guys are pretty tight players, the preflop raise to $5 told me he had big cards...figured I could get a push if I raised big....maybe not? Maybe raise it to $15 and then he pushes or reraises me, and doesn't give the set-hunting-turd a chance to hit?

My plan was to get all-in no matter what the flop was...but the postflop actions dictated that I fold.
