Isolate to 6BB pre.

As played, bet 80 percent pot. It's actually not the greatest of flops for a set. In a 3bet pot, you are going to be losing the pot a fair percentages of the time.

Yeah and that's exactly what happened... I panicked on turn and tried to protect the hand which was obviously done dead... And then when I was offered a cash out (50bb) I rejected it! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ This was the worst play ever

Turn would be a Cbet/fold spot most of the time on a wet board like this with a set.
Over betting flop is a little bit much as well, but against fishy villains I wouldn't mind it.

Cheers,
