Was this correct?

First time trying to post a hand so apologies if this dosen't workThe villian hadn't really been getting out of line and when the pot size bet was made on the flop I put them on an overpair to the board and they were worried about possible flush/straight draws. On another table I had sets cracked twice by running flush draws when I tried to slow play them and I think that was playing on my mind when this hand came up. 
Now on NL4 (which I usually play) you will usually get a caller with an overpair and with previous hands having been sucked out on I went for the shove. The result is the result and I am not complaining as they had a flush draw, up and down straight draw plus 2 overs and they hit. What I am wondering is, was I the right to play the hand this way?

Yes, you got your money in ahead, especially when you've hit your set as you remove outs. Unlucky really.

Cant see stack sizes or betsizing but yeah, set of 8's, get it in! Just a standard outdraw, nowt you can do but get it in.

Thanks for replying everyone.

Dr Sharp - I had over 7 and the villian was just over 8

if u move the bottom bar over so the bottom r/hand corner shows the money side of the hand when posting, b4 you move up going blue (think u move on bar to the right,with mouse).then the hand posts up perfectly

Ah Well, despite sucking out a few times last night I managed 5th in the 2k Mini Turbo BH and for someone as useless at tourneys as me, it feels like winning it lol.

Thanks for the advice Devon, I will try and see if I can post a hand properly next time

no worries m8
just checked it...just click on bar at bottom of hand,click on it and move to the right.
go blue
job done.
PS;after i have copied hand,i now press the x top right of page and leave that completely, as i found my hand sometimes posted properly and sometimes didn't.
then i just go to forum as normal then poker clinic,etc and post hand and it works lovely every time.
just a tip,works for me.
