good read ciaran, tough spot when he reraises on the flop, your only behind to a set here and ahead of kj/qj/aj/j10, the flush draw and a cutely played qq/kk.. seeing as it is a 1k donkament, id go on ur read of the guy, is he a top pair allin monkey or does he seem to know what hes at. i know its just first hand but since you were there early you can get alot off their demeanor pre cards.. If you do decide ur ahead here, then id just get it in on the flop since youve only got a 3k stax + the potential flush draw needs to be charged for if hes on it and if hes not could kill ur action...Since you flatted + shown fear, i dont see the point of pushing the turn; your getting snap called by anything that beats you and also now giving the hands that you beat a chance to get away as ur repping the flush,also youve no fear of another heart coming..
looking forward to part 2
Understandable how you played it based on the circumstances i.e over excited, pick up best starting hand and start to worry you'll get them cracked...however...
You've gotta think about his holding not yours.
Is it a case of him being aggressive from the off to set an image or does he have an actual hand. When you were re-popped on the flop did you think you were ahead or he was fast playin a set? Very low chance of this as it's possible he'll lose his customer straight away.
You should have a plan for every street. When you called the flop bet you should already know what you're doin next. The 9h hits giving you a re-draw for the nut flush but at this stage you've gotta be putting him on AJ or KJ. Your shove takes any value out of the equation, unless he's a complete tool and wants to loose all his stack 1st ahnd, 1st level. A check raise on the turn coulda still kept him in the hand and got more chips in the middle as I doubt a min raise or slightly over min raise is seeing him dump his cards.
Value bet on river to follow would see him either flat and lose or re-raise as a semi bluff which you can snap off and add 50% to your stack.
Understand why you did it tho mate ul

em preflop I prob chose to raise it a little more, 250 or even 225, may not seem huge but makes a difference give stacks sizes and being able to get it in on later streets.
I really like your betting out on the flop,calling his rr is fine I think, I prob lean towards getting it in. The reason I get it in there is, your out of position on the turn and there a fair few cards which could kill the action.
As for the turn its a tricky spot, but felt you played it right. He checks behind to often and hes prob only betting river with a better hand or kk/qq.
All in all think you played it pretty well.
