Seems to me you bet the flop too heavy, pot-committing yourself straight away.

I understand the reasons for the overbet but 2 times pot was just too big - the same jobs (protection against draws, identification of threats) would've been done by a 1.2 times bet.

This way, check/folding the turn becomes an option as you're not so pot-committed.

Hello clandestineAl,

I wouldn't over-bet the flop like this. Rather just make a normal bet and I am also definitely going broke. I don't really see how I can get away from here with top-set while they may themselves have worse pairs/draws or even worse sets.

One thing I'd usually do is that I do against a min-raise 4x raise rather than just 3x. With 3x we are giving great odds for him to Call.

Best regards.
