NL100 - Top two on very coordinated board

[El Ninho]

I played it right here, didn't I? I was thinking maybe I should raise a little less to possibly get away from the hand. I mean there is two guys behind me also... Even so, I thought I had to raise it up big at the time. Thoughts?

Sorry my first orbit at the table, had no stats on villain from earlier either.

standard.

I'm not raising preflop with that many limpers - I'm calling and hoping to hit the flop nice.

Top 2 is a monster here I think - we're only worried about sets - seeing as UTG+1 is a shorty I'd guess he more likely has an overpair or a draw than a set - no way am I looking to get away here.

I think you're probably right with Villain's stack size, but given the unraised pot JT (and to a lesser extent, 56) isn't out of the question.

[El Ninho]

Your reasoning seems valid, however I was a little afraid of the possibility of 56 and JT given that there were so many limpers. If one of the blinds come alive after my raise I think I have good reason to fear I am beat, but luckily they didn't. I thought I was behind when villain pushed, but because of his stacksize I guess I can never find a fold.
