This was fun (and profitable)

Not sure where I was supposed to post this. One thing I've struggled with is actually getting my money all in when I have a set, or basically nut hand. This time it just all came together.

flop sets, get paid. set over set, even better. i pay your queens off if i've got pocket 5's or T's though. nice pot.

...

not to rain on anyone's parade, but I would suggest maybe making a larger reraise pf since you are out of position and there are a lot of players in already. Then I would bet a bit more on the flop, more like 2/3-3/4. Although, once button reraises the flop, good job to push over top.

QFT. You're going to get a lot of callers at this table, obviously, with a 3x raise. There's a bit of money in the pot already, pop it a little more and narrow the field. QQ doesn't look good on a LOT of boards with 5 players in the pot. Obviously an A or K on the board sucks, but a board like 489 with two to a suit is a bad spot for you as well.

No rain at all, when I review that HH the first thing I think of is that I should have reraised higher. Nowadays I'd be more likely to make it 0.30 preflop.

My bet on the flop was deliberately on the low end of my normal c-bet raise to entice some callers/raisers. Should I have been trying to shut it down more, or is a larger raise just to sweeten the pot more?
