[20NL] Bottom set >> huge pot

[RipperJ]

I don't always raise the flop when i get a set, but I felt that a small raise would be good here since there was a bettor. With 2 calls and 2 checks on the turn I fired out a big bet because I did not want any FDs or SDs catching. When they both called and pushed the river I couldn't find myself folding with about $10 behind.

Could this have been played different?
Do you think I have the best hand here?

also, don't ever think about folding sets pls ktx.

Why not? You don't want to build the pot?

[bode]

[RipperJ]

And your flop raise is pathetic

explain plz? too low? how high can I make it to still have somebody call? I was lucky both called here b/c they were complete donks lol

There are some draws on this board. You make it $1.80 more to call in a $3.80 pot. These are over 2:1 pot odds, which you don't want to give to a flush/straight draw. Raise to like $4 to give them bad pot odds to chase.
