Default Flop a set, was shoving the right move?

.1/.2 stakes:

Seat 1: Villain (17.45 in chips)
Seat 4: MP (25.05 in chips)
Seat 5: Hero (14.75 in chips)
Seat 6: SB (13.45 in chips)
Seat 10: BB(11.80 in chips)
Dealt to Hero [ 7c 7h ]
Villain: calls
MP: raises to $1.20
Hero: calls
SB: folds
BB: folds
Villain: calls
*** FLOP *** [ 4c, 8c, 7s. ]
Villain: checks
MP: checks
Hero: bets $3
Villain: calls
MP: folds
*** TURN *** [ Ts. ]
Villain: checks
Hero: Bets all-in.

Correct? Incorrect? Why?


Thank you for any help.

I would bet around 7.50 and call a shove.

Oh yeah, and anything I did wrong before the big move is useful to hear too.

He only has slightly more than a pot-sized bet remaining, is villain really more likely to call 7.50 than a shove? If he does call 7.50 he's pretty much committed anyway. If the point of a smaller bet is to increase your chances of being called or shoved against, then i'd say $3-4 might be better. I think there's more chance that a hand that folds to a shove calls or bluff-raises against a $3 bet than against $7.50.

Edit Edit: I mostly just shove, but against bluffy aggro opponents I might try a small bet.

Since I'm now confident in my playing that hand, I can tell you the guy was holding 6/5, and I got stacked off. Beats, brags, and variance, I guess.

Shoving is not bad. Arent you giving over analyzing at these levels? I think that at these micro stakes you should just try to maximze money rahter than trying to out think opponents.

The only hand you really need to play to is a FD here.

If he has a FD then villain will have 7 outs. You need to offer worse than 5:1 implied odds. After that pushing or not just depends on what you expect he'll call with a worse hand.

over-analyze? me? surely you jest. FWIW, I'd only not-shove with some specific read, that's what I was trying to say. Shoving is good.

What I really meant, in handy diagram form, is:

Shoving > FPS small bet > 7.50
