Villain is 30/15/3. Do you play it any different?

You're getting almost 3:1 to call the push, which isn't quite enough versus Villain's most likely hand (76s), but is plenty once we take into account that undersets and two pair and possibly even hands like JsTs and As8s are part of his range.

So the turn seems fine to me.

On the flop, I would have bet at least the pot on a drawish board like this one. I think good draws will come along, but I'm thinking you might as well go for more value with your monster hand.

Nope ... I'd play more or less the same way. (allthough my betsizes in generel are slightly different, but that is personal preference)

I bet closer to pot on this board, but this seems really standard.

Also PF with 3 limpers and OOP, I would raise more or not at all.

You're right, but at the time I was thinking "with so many limpers, if I don't hit my set I'm probably done with the hand, so why build it before the flop" (most of the limpers were loose passive). Stupid idea?

Damn I thought this post was going to be an instructional essay on how to flop top set.
