25NL right move? flop bet ok or too much?

[-brew-]

the deep stack has been doing a lot of limping but this is the first time he has raised. i put him on a good hand, somewhere between AA-99/AK but i have read you guys talking about set value and i am coming to understand the importance of implied odds so i made a call that i might not usually do in limit.

I was a little concerned about my big bet on the flop because i didn't really want to push anyone out, but the pot had grown significantly so i thought that this was the move.

Looks good. I think the big bet is good because of the flush draw, and the good chance that someone with an overpair will be calling you.

Sorry you lost to 88/JJ here. This is correct.

Nice hand.

Your flop raise didn't leave you with much behind, just push the rest in too and save a mouse click [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Set over set is always fun.

thanks for the feedback guys. for those speculating as to the set over set situation, i could definitely see where you were coming from, fortunately for me that didn't happen. the hand was good. i want to make sure that my aggression factor is not exaggerated when the opportunity presents itself.

funny. i guess that makes sense, i didn't want to totally over bet the pot, which was my reasoning. i figured the pot was about 20 so make that bet, but i suppose that it wouldnt make a difference at that point for a few dollars.
