Playing a set.
Lee Jones once told me that if you don't lose a lot of money on a set, you're not playing it hard enough. I don't think this was the case...
I know I played this badly. Third hand of the session, so I didn't have a read on anyone, but did know the game was looser than usual due to preflop %.
Flop call is shady. I was intending to fold on the turn, but the 10 popped up and my eyes lit up.
I probably should have gone into check/call mode... but would you have folded this at any point? Hard to put someone on J9, I think. Was thinking maybe she had the Q and another pair.

Comments
I raise back on the flop to find out where I stand. I re-raise by you here gets you tonnes of info and may get rid of those idiot chasers (Morsan).
Morsan's call of 2 bets cold on pre-flop is what makes poker profitable.:D
