none the less i won the pot here, but thoughts?

The fact that they have these hands kinda answers your question. As far as your opening size, I definitely don't hate it, not sure why you do, seems good.

Not gonna consider folding for longer than half a second before shovelling the chips in and being reasonably happy about it...

If one of them somehow has flopped a straight, we can make a boat and if someone has 77 we can consider it an unlikely cooler...

[  ] you can ever fold

I'd be very happy getting my chips in here.

50p

Oh you won the hand

<3

Really? I definitely wouldn't be very happy.

You are very hard to please tho :)

This, still wouldn't fold though.

I think you should always consider the possibility of folding when facing two allin's after your c bet.
However, your hand is in great shape against most of the likely combinations of both players hands. The fact that one of them is only a short stack makes it an even clearer CALL.

This is the absolute nut board for players to shovel it in with draws, so you have least to fear from all-ins.

this is what i'm saying, but as soon as we were 4 way to that flop i know it was going to get messy. im happy with the bet size leading. the over shove was just cringe worthy. i just thought back to how i have basically minned it utg and this is like the NUT worse board to call 3 way all in with a set.my table was a calling station and you know what happens when you play with them, they pop up with the nuts on this board when you min it utg, i think for table dynamics i should have been more nearer the 3x open but this is just one scenario im putting it to. if villain got dealt 8/9 or KQ made the flush would i have regretted getting it in on the flop... possibly..

If your scared of getting it in under these circumstances, folding pre is the next nest option...

I disagree when we flop a set it isn't always going to be the nut board.

Folding the flop wouldn't be absolutely terrible.

Surely cant be good though, especially middle set?vObviously it depends on action but if its gonna end HU then surely its a -ev fold?
