    Look's fine to me.Could have a set with his re-raise but you have top 2 no flush draws no real str8 draws.Just unlucky.

    Got to be honest for me a fold is prefferable to the 3 bet.  The two callers arent too much of a concern but your drawing slimly gainst the openers range.  The 3 bet only inflates the pot OOP against a hand you could easily be dominating or flipping against.

    Your hand likely plays stronger post 4 way than forcing the issue pre IMO.  Regardless of result as you say, ignore the fact that the J spikes the turn, you were always a dog, so 3 betting pre looses you the opportunity to flop big or get away cheap bud.

    Pod was the opener so who are you on about when you say openers range?
    What 3-bet are you talking about here? Pod opened, he didn't 3 bet anybody.

    - Pod .. standard shove imo, possible slow played set but top two, have to get it in.

    Dare i say it Ambyr is spot on imo.

    The only thing i well comment on tho, that Bet size on the turn, its miles better than ive seen of other hands youve posted recently mate.

    Your right i mis read the hand, thought Pod was in the BB opting to 4 bet.  Saw pod BB and didnt look closer.  Dont have to be so aggro tho bud.

    Did you post in tis hand Pod?

    Pod made the betting until the turn re-raise everyone just called till then. 4 different suites no flush no up and down str8 draws and he has top 2.Only things left are gutterball str8,set,2 pair and big ace over played.

    pre is fine imo

    bet flop bigger

    definitely bet turn bigger, trying to induce isnt a good idea readless imo, people call more than they raise and we are looking to build the pot. Getting it in is obv fine

    I think different views are always going to be a good thing.  No two top pros play the same way, they all do things differently.

    I get kind of annoyed when people dogmatically state their approach is best off the back of one hand with no real time info
