3bet should be way bigger pre imo. Check raise sizing is also huge and basically forces you to call the jam.


You're trying to stack off against an incredibly strong range here when you raise this big on the flop. I would guess the raise should be half the size if you want to play it this way.

In short, in this spot, was my set not strong enough to want to play for stacks?

What if the effective stack was 100BB?

You're just going to stack off against AA, QQ, and KTs when you raise this big, so I would guess no it isn't.

No idea about 100BB because the hand wouldn't play out this way.
