I was in the small blind. The cut off (one in front of the button) raised. I called with a pair of tens. The big blind re-raised. The cut off and I both called. The flop came 7 - 8 - 10. I flopped a set! As the first to act, I thought for a second or two and led out with a pot sized bet. Both of the other players folded. The big blind held his hand to the side to show me that he was folding Kings. I showed my set after he showed the Kings.
I figured that since there were two raises pre-flop, I was sure to get a call. Also, I did not want to have a big pair catch a set. Nor did I want a pair of Jacks to catch the straight.
When the hand was over, the person to my right (the button) said I should have checked that hand in order to let the big blind bet; then, I could raise when it came back around to me. You know, it sounds reasonable.
I was also scolded about showing my hand. I don't think that was a bad thing, as this helped to establish a "very tight" table image. It gave the image that I was going to bet my hands in order to not be drawn out on.
What do you think? Would one of the others have bet out? Should I have check-raised in this situation? Should I have not shown my hand?
Cheers
