Playing flopped Set Optimally

[MattsTheMan]

I wonder about my allin move. I guess it was a marginal Call on button with A9o but I like to be pretty loose on the button. I almost never call a raise with A9o on button though.

I decided to only call since both UTG and BB are very aggressive and if no Spade would hit on turn I would C/R or just push all in.

But now BB rerasied so I wonder if I should have only called in that spot to milk more money from UTG. I dont like to slowplay but It could mabye have been the best option?

Yes, fold pre-flop, after that I think it makes little difference, i imagine you just calling that board twice is going to look very suspicious, and there probably isn't much that will come on the turn to convince him to put the rest in anyway.

If you did just call the flop, i shouldn't worry about a spade, the only hand that could possibly play the way he did is KQ of spades and that is unlikely, his most likely hand is an overpair i think.

If you choose to play more hands on the button, I wouldnt add A9o to your list of hands to play there. Threat of domination is still there, and the potential of the hand in ways of flopping a monster is very marginal.

Rest of the hand is incredibely standard, me thinks.

well i think it's almost impossible to extract more after your overcall BB's allin. any thinking player will realise you have a monster unless you've been playing like a donk.

fold preflop, besides that what does bb have? A flush draw? Or an overpair too? Or maybe 44?

Raise the flop 1st time. You don't have a set, you have trips. Big difference, although since you have the nut trips its mitigated somewhat, but your hand isnt as strong as you think.
