what sort of size should i be re-raising, 1/2 pot? pot? all-in?
also should i have bet more pre?

DOHHHHHHH

Pre flop is good, and it's the perfect flop for your hand. 

If it was a heads up pot, I would consider just calling the flop bet, but as it's 3 handed, I would make it 950 or something, then you'll be able to shove any turn card (but throw up if it's a king, although there's probably only 1 left in the deck)

Great spot, if they have a set, u'r losing all your chips, just the way it is.

thanks, if i had raised on flop to say 950 as u said and 1 or both players call. turn is a blank and 1 moves all-in, is it a simple call??

Against two players i'm putting in a 3/4 pot to pot raise. It's an aggresive move but that's the one i'd make. like dohhhh said if it's a set you're paying him.

DOHHHHHHH

Yeh I would stack off here on the turn if it's anything but a king, so for me it's a simple call.

Making it 950, would leave you 2k behind, and the pot would be 3k with 1 caller, and 3.6k with 2 callers, so a 2k shove is a standard bet size.

I'd just be looking to set the shove up, and if the turn is a Jack, and he shows king jack, then just swear. You ave outs for a better 2 pair, any paint card is scary, as they likely have a King with a picture.........

If you wanna take the safety first route, you could make it 1.5k on the flop, telling the other 2 that you are never folding the hand.....

I would be looking for value here though.....and would play it to make sure all the money gets in on the turn.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Waffle, but hope it helps. It's only what I'd do, if you wanna play to make the cash first, then try to win, maybe a bigger raise to kill the pot would be for you.

What happened?
