Looks fine.

looks good.

the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] falling (takes a lot of flushes out of his range in a raised pot oop early) combined with the hand strength of your flopped top set leaves me thinking theres plenty more value to be had with a turn bet.

I like always play the same, but this Ac idea is interesting. Also depends on opponent - the tighter he is the better would be turn bet i guess.

Re: 27$ - QQ makes a set early, flush possible on turn
 

I would have tried to win the pot on the flop - no need to see another flush card flop and have to worry. To early to try to get a ton of meaningless chips with low blinds.

I would have gone all in and be done with it right there - move on- Low blinds are not for chip accumulation - they are for surviving until the middle blinds come when you can turn on the aggression.

Are you advocating to push flop?
We flopped a real monster here.

I agree. If SB has called a raise with KJs, KTs, JTs, etc., he is going to win a big pot from you. I think it is much more likely that the SB has picked up a flush draw on the turn than it is that he made a flush. Therefore, I bet the turn to protect my hand from the draw.
