Flop: ($4.50) 5, 9, 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $4, Hero raises to $8, CO calls $4.

Hero bets $13.5, CO raises to $39.2, Hero calls $19.10 (All-In).

River: ($92.30) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)


i minraised flop since i was sure he didn't have a draw, and it was pot size. dont quite know what else to raise there.

when he raised me on turn i was quite sure he had TT since AA and maybe KK and QQ 3bets flop or calls scared, and JJ raises with the extra eight outs on turn very rarely.

i was right. yay me. im sure nobody here thinks you can get away from that, and you're probably right. i feel like i've lost more sets than usual so im always looking if i could have gotten away from them.

im not sure about my c/r there. seems a little obvious. was expecting, maybe just hoping, that BTN would bet more on flop. should i lead this flop or what?
