Part of me agrees with this. Another part of me saw that the 4:s: was my only spade and setting the J:c: down with it would stop any flush or straight draw from developing.

I'm not sure there's too much value in a 1 card flush OOP. (~28.5% to catch a flush, assuming you'd play the K:s: up top. I.e. 11 outs over 4 draws where a success means drawing at least 4 outs.)
So the question is: Does placing J4 on the bottom, and making all straights and flushes impossible cost more in value than getting an extra draw to pair the extra card?
Bear in mind that you only need 2 pr to avoid foul and you can still draw into a full house or quads. If you miss the flush/straight, then you not only foul, you lose the FL bid.
I think the safest rout is the pair-based hands... and since you're strong for a FL play, I don't think it's worth chasing the flushes and straights with a 1-card set.
The important point I'm overlooking is an EV calc, but I don't even know how to approach it on the set.
Did I set it right?

Setting JJ in the middle is a low EV play, usually. I see that you're hoping to catch a flush on the bottom, but you're IP, with 3 blockers to your flush already (since you play the J:s: outside the FD). This makes you ~41% to catch the flush.
If you had played KK, AA in the mid, instead of JJ, then I'd have different thoughts. As it stands, the JJ can't protect a FL pair on top by itself, and you set a Q up top, implying that you want to pair Q's. So you're shooting for JJ's up in the mid, which is a strong 2 pr to protect on the bottom.
I see why you felt to go for the flush given this analysis, but I think a set of Q/6/JJT will work out for you more often in this case.
Was i too aggro?

No. You got a difficult hand to play, but discarding the A on 9th street was the right move, and NOT discarding the A on 11th street was good, too.
Looks good.
It's close, but with 2 draws at 4 outs, and a success is drawing at least 1 out... you've got 58% equity to avoid foul.
If by some miracle you complete the boat on 11th street, then you'd have even more equity going into the final draw due to the fact that trips in the mid is not a foul anymore.
MMM,
Cool, I'm glad you didn't see any major mistakes there.
I think shifting gears from flush to trips on the first draw is ok while shifting for a single pair is wrong. Shifting on first for 2 pair is ok some of the time I guess. What do you think?

It's a pretty close call here, but I would not have given up on the FL draw. Since there are 3 Qs remaining, you have a about a 30% chance of hitting one, which would net you around 15 points (7 for royalties and ~8 for FL). So the EV of going for FL is 15x0.3=4.5. Setting the 9s up top is 4 points, so you would be slightly better off going for FL. If there were only 2 Qs live, however, I would set 9s up top because then, you would only have a 20% chance of hitting one on the last draw for a EV of 15x0.2=3 points.
xuster22,
You're right, it was very close.
Is kk up top on the first draw too aggro?

Your play on 7th street is confusing. You discard a Q, after setting a Q up top for a FL hand.
You play the J to the top, when you could have made pr J's on the bottom.
You played the 6:s: to the mid, when you could have played it to the bottom for your flush draw.
Really, it's confusing the whole way through the hand. Seeing the Villain's cards would help, but it's hard to see what your end-game plan was on 9th street.
I think you luckboxed some rungood, first of all.
I think your play on 11th street to drop the K and Q on your bottom for the flush was prob the best move, too (I know, I know... FL cards are not flush cards, I always say). In this case you had big damage control to think about, and you saved an almost sure foul.
WP.
... despite being a -EV play.
I think this looks pretty straight forward on a brief analysis. Did I miss something?

Ditto. I think Q / A 4 / 7 8 is demonstrably better. It much more easily allows a back-door to 2-pair in the mid if an Ace doesn't come and the back makes only 2-pair (i.e. you sneak into the land with something like QQT / A4433 / 88776); with Q / A 8 / 7 4, 8s up beats 7s up, so either the back needs to boat or straight or the mid has to catch an Ace. So Eric's set makes the mid stronger and more flexible. Furthermore, 87 is connected, whereas 74 has two gaps, which makes it significantly harder to make a straight in back.With 87, you can catch T9, 96, or 65 to make an open-ended straight draw, but only 65 gives you one if you set 74. So, both in the mid and the back, your hand is more flexible and stronger with Eric's line.
How do you play the 3rd draw?

First, you got dealt a really awful hand, sorry. But it would be better to set XXX /5:h: 3:s: 2:d: /9:h: 7:d:
The loose plan is to make 9s-up (or 7s-up) in back and 5s-up (or 3s-up) in the mid and to backdoor an FL pair on top. Of course, you would be open to making a full house in back or two straights if the cards should fall that way, but that won't happen all that often. On the first draw, play the 3:h: in the mid and the 7:s: in back, giving you a pair in mid and in back. On the second draw put the K:s: on top (to allow an FL draw) and the 6:s: in back, still with an eye to a 2-pair/2-pair/FL pair structure. On the third draw, put the 2:h: in the mid, making 2-pair, and the 8:h: on top as a consolation draw to a 3-point pair of 8s if things work out that way. On the last draw make your hand by playing the 6:h: in back and brick the top with the J:h:. You don't make any royalties, but you avoid fouling, and you end up winning the mid and top.
This is an ugly starting hand imo. Do you set the gutter on bottom out of position?

JJK/AAQ98/222TT
earns 2 more royalties.
When setting a boat, remember that the power is in the 3-of-a-kind part of the hand. Placing 222AA is exactly equal in hand value to 22233. Since only one person can have 3 of a card value, no boat-over-baot situation is determined by the pair.
When playing a boat, always use the smallest pair possible, so you may use larger pairs where their card value matters.
If you were playing for the straight in the mid, that's OK, but you can get more points from placing a pair of TT+ up top than for a straight in the mid. In general, play for highest royalties on FL hands.

On the set, the Q goes up top. I'd split the KJ85 into J8 on the bottom and K5 in the mid. The plan is to draw a K and a Q and hit 2 pair on the bottom. If the two pair on the bottom comes in early, then 2 pair in the middle is an option... so long as the K hasn't paired yet.
On 7th
Pair the Q up top, pair the 5 in the mid, discard the 2
On 9th
Play the pair of T's on the bottom, discard the 8. Villain already played one of your outs (8), so going for T's is a higher pair with more outs.
On 11th
Play the J to the bottom, completing 2-pair: J8TTJ. 9's are more live (Villain played a 4), so go with the 9 to the mid, and discard the 4.
On 13th
Luckbox that 9 to the mid, making 2-pair: K5599. Play the 3 up top to avoid fouling with the Q and make QQ3
Final hand
QQ3

The middle got a bit scary near the end there. The danger was imposed with the K being no good to us as an out due to it making 2 pair in the mid higher than 2 pair on the bottom. It's a risk I take on the set, and there are other styles. It was pretty lucky to draw that 9 on 13th street.
Some people would set the KQ up top. Some would set like you did. I think the power of Fantasy Land is too great to be setting AKQ anywhere but the top. Placing a K or A in the mid when there's a Q up top can protect that FL bid.

I don't really like it.
You're going to be in trouble hitting 2 pair in the mid with this set. It could make you foul if you can't beat 2 pair on the bottom and you're looking at 77's up on the bottom and TT's up in the mid.
T9o is an OK starting hand in hold'em, but you are playing a tough game here trying to go for a straight in the mid. You've already blocked 7's from your straight draw, since you're obv playing them to the bottom. Plus you must hit at least a full house on the bottom to cover a straight, since you already laid a pair on the bottom.
In drawing to your straight, you're not only blocked on the 7's, putting you at drawing to J-high straights and above... but those Q+ cards are at home on the top row, not in the middle, making a straight.
Shoot for Fantasy Land whenever possible, and don't block a FL bid on later streets with your early streets, just because you don't have any high cards.
I much prefer to set it

Don't play around with straights in the mid this time. Shoot for trips+ on the bottom, 2 pair in the mid, and hope for QQ+ up top.

This looks OK. 3 to a straight flush can give you some headaches on later streets when you have to decide whether or not to play a :s: that doesn't make the straight flush. Or playing a non-:s: to go for the straight.
Nonetheless, you're never going to hit a straight flush if you don't go for it from time to time.

How's that for a deal? Here's a screen shot:

Looks like a missed opportunity to make a FL bid with a Q or KQ up top, IMO.
Also, going for a flush when you already know you're twice blocked is risky.
Holding out for that royal on the draw was super risky, in the long run. If you didn't get all 5 cards at once, you'd have been screwed, for sure. Seems like you were really relying on that luck-box draw to make your hand, here.
Villain already has you beat with 5-high in the mid, anyway. His Q up top is brutal, too.
I don't see how you recover from this set.

would you have done QQ/7733/KKK vs way I decided. Id only guess this secondary hand would scoop more often but maybe I am over valuing small two pair vs a single big pair.
naturally the boat plus the 77s give a bit more royality from the top but not sure 77 will scoop in this set vs having QQ/7733/ and then leaving back weaker with KKK.
