1 hand, shortstack -> bigstack

[eugmac]

It really felt like I had a winning lottery ticket when I got dealt 33 in the BB, hit a set, then got paid off by *4* opps. I don't think I've ever quintupled in one hand before... I went on to win too, thanks to this hand.

I would not overbet the flop the way you did, with so many players you have to lead, and there is no question your chips are going the pot anyhow, but you want to give your opponents a chance to mae a mistake.
I would lead pot size or close to it and push turn

[eugmac]

I didn't bet, I check/called.

on second thought this should probably be in Tales of Poker.

Yes. (nh btw!)

Why not lead out the flop though for say at least 1/2 pot or so? I don't like the open check...

My bad, misread the hand

If it makes you feel any better I did too because villian was in red.

I like the check/raise here...chances are your set is good. I had a similar hand a couple of days ago with aces that hit a set and I got three callers and I was AI. Felt like christmas.
