Bet like 140 next time. No need for over bet.

Default Re: Hitting a set in an unraised pot with a possible flush on board.

the point here is that we dont need to bet pot to protect our hand. Any flush draw like a lone ace or king is only 18% or so to fill in on the river, so even betting a third pot will make their call -ev. We by betting or overbetting pot are helping to maximize what we lose to made flushes, or bigger sets. We would like to also get calls from overpairs, TPTK type hands, which are usually easier to get without a full pot size bet. since its limped and checks around on the flop, we would like to see hands like T9s / 88 / TT / JJ / 77 / 76s / QJo make a loose call here on the turn and maybe even extract another bet on the river.
