Nice pot. How hard did you have to think about calling that all-in on the flop?
I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

Eh, I don't see how this hand could be played differently by anyone.

It couldn't... I'm just bragging.

Actually if we're looking for a lesson here, it's that implied odds are very, very good on pocket pairs. Like our good friend aces often says, you should calling any reasonable pre-flop raise with pocket pairs all day long, trying to hit sets. I'll go one step further and say that I would rather call a raise with low pockets than raise with it myself, or limp into a regular pot with no pre-flop raise. Your best means of making money on a set is to have someone else acting as the aggressor - and if they have an overpair or TPTK, you can de-stack them without much effort.

I will dissect one thing I did here that is potentially controversial - that is, betting the boat aggressively on the flop with no bets ahead of me. In case anyone is wondering, I led out like that because I figured for sure in a 6-way hand, someone had a queen/decent kicker and was willing to go all the way with it. I wouldn't necessarily bet out like this against one or two opponents, but with that many playing (and the initial raiser having checked the flop, signalling a possible slowplay), I was willing to take the slight chance that no one had a queen in return for a large chance that someone was definitely going to raise, or check-raise, all-in. I got my wish - from the original raiser, surprise surprise.

I don't really think that mattered, you were probably getting that guy's chips anyways. I guess you did get 10 extra bucks off the initial caller
