I still can't get the converter to work for me on HHs from Dise's 50k guaranteed. But here's the hand:

Dealing...
Dealt to chardrian [ Ac ]
Dealt to chardrian [ Jh ]
hottie4u: Fold
chardrian: Raise (2,000) - I had recently been moved to this table, had raised the same amount with AA and won. That was the only hand I had been in so far. I think we still weren't at the 2.5xBB raise preflop time - but not a huge mistake.
phat_cat: Fold
$$2005$$: Fold
sophos : Fold
mongo11 : Call (2,000)
mrangell: Fold
tcoll17 : Fold
luckyman7s: Fold
K1 Attack: Call (1,200)
Pot is now 6900
*** FLOP *** : [ 2s 3c 5d ]
K1 Attack: Check
chardrian: Bet (3,800) - I had not been making many continuation bets all night, but I was new to this table so they didn't know that. Anyways - figured I'd represent the high pair and have outs even if it was called.
mongo11 : Raise (8,000) - yikes! This guy was aggressive though. He had just gone over the top on the super aggreesive guy at our table earlier and took down a pot. Going through the checklist in my head - A4 or 46 or 2 pair? I don't think so. A set? Again - wouldn't he just smooth call there and take me down or is he that concerned that I'm on a draw? So I put him most likely on an over pair. It's 4,200 into a 18,700 pot...
I'm fine with a fold here. I'd be down to 23k but that's still more than enough to do some damage. But is a call a bad play? I don't see how it can be. Most likely I have 10 outs - I have to call with odds like that. Worst case scenario (I really don't think he has 46) - is 4 outs. Pot odds at this point are almost ok even there (assuming he doesn't bet the turn). So I
K1 Attack: Fold
chardrian: Call (4,200)
*** TURN *** : [ 2s 3c 5d ] [ Js ]
chardrian: Check
mongo11 : Bet (6,000) - I hit one of my 10 outs - he bet less than he did on the flop, which is either scary or great. I don't see how I can fold now after I called the flop raise since I hit.
chardrian: Raise (18,819)
mongo11 : Call (12,819) - uh oh.
chardrian said, "vn"

Curious to see what you all think of my play/thoughts on this hand. Was my thinking flawed at any point? In any case - I think it was very well played by mongo.

I dont like the call of the reraise, to me he is defiantly holding a higher pocket pair or he hit his set. You should have laid it down when you found out where he stood, IMO.

i dont bet the flop. no way i call a raise if i did bet the flop.

I think your play was logical, but as you calculated, your flop call was very thin, maybe even -EV.

The critical thought was that a set "would have flat called you" - so you discounted the possibility that your overcard outs weren't good. He played it a little strong... but he can easily put you on an A, which gives you the gutshot. May as well make you pay for it.

What leans me towards folding when your CB is re-raised is the fact that you are covered, and I am not sure I'm willing to play long ball for all my chips here.

in NL, it's probably a bad idea to call a raise with just overcards unless you are setting up a bluff on a later street.

the flop bet is a toss up, but it's a clear fold facing a raise.

You're counting your outs wrong. I'd assume I have like 5 outs total consider how often even a turned pair or straight will lose or split. Easy flop fold.

slow playing a set on that board is bad play. I need a reason to assume someone is bad in a 30 RB tourney.
