Yeah, I'm a newbie.
The table was a full table, just only had 6 people for this hand.
No significant reads or history on the others in the hand, I'd been playing a tight-aggressive game, except when I go for the blind steal on position alone without looking at cards, which I did pretty religiously. I guess my VP$IP is around 20-25 and PFR above 15.
Pre-flop it comes around to me, and I figure that the range for the two people already in the hand is any pocket pair, any suited ace or king, Q9s+, JTs+, QT0+. I feel good against most of these and re-raise to isolate - thinking also that I'll have position post-flop.
It's called by all, including SB, and I don't quite know what to put him on. Isolating didn't go so well, and I'm not confident about which range to put them all on now, let alone when it comes round to me.
$1 is a pretty weak bet to me, but if I call it both MP and CO (villain) have $3 left in their stack with a pot above $7 - this seems like it would give them pot odds to call a lot of stuff on turn and/or river. AA, KK and QQ all seem likely, except I'd maybe have expected a re-raise pre-flop (except SB who could call maybe with KK and QQ) or harder betting post-flop. I decide that at least the check and bet are probably not TPGK, TPTK or trips, bet might be a high pocket pair checking if anyone has an ace. Call I'm not sure about. I decide on a whim that MP probably bet something like TT and CO(villain) called with Ax. Instinctively I don't like the Call option, although perhaps that would have been the right move - so thinking to myself "let's see who has a bigger ace" I put in a healthy raise to put the two people already with chips in after the flop all-in and giving SB something to think about.
After the show down SB comments on how stupidly I played the hand, and I wondered briefly if he was just trying to get me on tilt, but he seemed to genuinely think I'd made a very wrong move. (I didn't respond, but someone else at the table took it upon himself to disagree and a bit of discussion ensued.) I'm pretty happy with the pre-flop move, but I have no idea whether I did the right thing post-flop. Any comments?
