I Might've Been Mad If I Hadn't Been Amused

After playing this hand, I had to call it a day after only playing for about a half hour. I lost roughly 60% of my profits for the day, so instead of finishing up 2+ buy-ins, I finished with 9/10 a buy-in.

I just laughed and decided to quit the session. I mean, I don't even know what the odds are of three players flopping a set are. Unbelievable.

I guess this wasn't the best time to implement that new (to me) strategy that I just I learned: minraising when a short stack shoves all in to close out any potential caller, since he min check reraised me. (I don't know why I didn't just shove when he check/called vs the shorty's shove and then min check raised my reraise.) In the past, I would've just either called the first raise and got it in on the turn, or made a standard size raise initially.
