Protecting Top Set

[Chipless Wonder]

Check out how much I attempted to protect my hand here. I raised 6X BB pre-flop, then bet the pot on the flop...

6x pre here seems standard with 3 limpers infront of you. You got your money in with da nuts, can't get better than that.

Cooler IMO, perfectly played, zero flaws at all. He doesn't come along I don't think if the first guy doesn't call. He can easily put you on aa or ak (or much worse) so I don't mind his play either with a pair and flush draw. He may even be ahead of a cont bet if you have aj or get you to fold qq, jj range...at min, he will have 9 outs (if you have what you have) and at most have 14 (if you have aa or ak) plus a backdoor straight draw. Granted, it's crazy playing that big of a pot with 3/4 suited, but nothing is crazy to me anymore .

another point how aggression online doens't mean anything no one folds lol

I disagree, it meant a ton. Now he has an idea on how that guy plays and he still has a stack to play with. Not the 10K stack he deserves, but not in trouble yet (1.7K, bb 60). He has information on the range of a guy who's probably going to be stealing from him a lot in the future so he can adjust accordingly. Because of his aggression, he got it in a very good favorite to have a big stack. If he was passive, he might have lost less but would have had a lot less chance of getting it all in when he was miles ahead.
