Default Presto with position - I think I made only one good decision.

This hand has been bothering me for a few days now. Been thinking about it, and wonder if I did anything right.

Live 1/2 NL HE. Full table. Most of the players are loose and there to have fun. A couple of good (read observant and semi tight) players. I have 450 and Villain has about the same, maybe only 400.

Villain is to my right. He has not played many hands past the flop. I have not played many hands past the flop or the blinds.

Villain is UTG + 1. I am directly to his left.

Hero (that's me) is dealt 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I limp for 2. Everyone limps for 2.

Flop comes J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I have flopped a set. Woo hoo! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Checked to villain. He bets 40. I think just a bit. I want to raise to drive out the loose players behind me. I don't think I should push. So I make it 100.

[I believe my decision was good. But should I have just raised the minimum? I have been playing tight and think that the rest of the table knows that. They are loose but we all know each other more or less. Should I have pushed right then and there?]

It is folded around to Villain. No surprise.

Villain then thinks a bit and reraises to 220. So 120 more to me. He is able to bluff. But does not bluff just for the sake of bluffing. Another player (the dealer) later told me that Villain would not have bluffed me.

I stop and think/tank for quite a while. One of the loose players calls clock on me. Grrrr. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I call. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Big, big mistake. Right? Either fold or push seems to be correct choices. I wasn't thinking very well here. I thought I might catch the case 5 (stupid, I know) or he might check on the turn.

Turn is K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain pushes all-in. No surprise. I have him covered with a little extra. I have been very tight and patient all night.

I think some and realize I am beat. I fold. Loose player who called clock is shocked. Villain is quiet and does not utter a word and scoops the chips.

Villain has been mostly quiet (he usually is that way). And after another few orbits leaves. He is up a little.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
