    Default Pushing the set too soon?

    No specific reads on the villain before this hand, still early on in the tourney. Am I pushing too soon? Would a bet of 500 be better on the turn here? I was convinced he'd call, very surprised in the end.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    CO (t740)
    Button (t3010)
    Hero (t1440)
    BB (t1230)
    UTG (t1410)
    UTG+1 (t3390)
    MP1 (t770)
    MP2 (t1510)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 2.
    UTG calls t20, 1 fold, MP1 calls t20, 1 fold, CO calls t20, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t100) K, 8, 2 (5 players)
    Hero bets t40, BB folds, UTG raises to t140, MP1 folds, CO folds, Hero raises to t450, UTG calls t310.

    Turn: (t1000) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets t970 (All-In), UTG folds.

    Final Pot: t1970

    Results in white below:
    No showdown. Hero wins t1970.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Anytime I flop a set, I like do like to go out with a strong bet...especially when there's a flush draw out there. So, I like your betting and re-raising on the flop.

    I don't know if small bet on the turn would have had a difference result. Once he raised and you re-raised, he probably knew you had him beat. He may have been on a flush draw, may of had a weak King...I don't know...but after you re-raised him, I think he knew you had him beat, he was just hoping to catch something on the turn that would improve his hand. So, I don't think a smaller bet would have gotten you anymore action. With two-spades out there I think you had to push and make him pay if he was on a flush draw.

    lead 80 on the flop. from there if you get raised, things work out in such a way so that a push on the turn is more like 1/2 pot rather than full. as played, yeah i'd bet a little less on the turn but a player who's not dumb will realize you're effectively all in and treat your bet appropriately, so i doubt there's really too much difference. if it was me though, i'd bet 666.

    Bet 400 and push the river. But they play so bad especially this early that pushing the turn still has a lot of value.
