i got Holdem Manager yesterday and since having a look at my basic stats (for a very small sample at the mo) I've been trying to be a bit more agressive with big hands. Was I overly so here?

Not one bit, IMO. You are behind to very few hands and this board is very drawy. I'm afraid you lost this hand to or something of that nature but you played this fine. If he happened to wake up with 55, well...set/set just sucks and you can't worry about those.

On HEM, the EV $ Diff column = $35.66 and somewhere else it says my equity was 68%, I think. Regarding this second figure, doesn;t it mean I had 68% of the pot on average at showdown? I have no idea exactly what the ev $ diff is depsite trying to follow some threads about it.

This hand is 100% standard. You could also donk bet the flop to avoid giving a free card if you fear that the flop gets checked around often, but I think at these limits you will always find someone who is trying to steal the pot when it gets checked to them.

The $35.66 is probably the amount of money you should win on average with this hand vs opps hand. Since you (probably) won $0, the EV difference is $35.66, meaning you ran $35.66 below EV. The 68% is your equity on the flop, meaning you should win the hand 68% of the time on average.

Ta. 68% of a $52 pot is about $35 so, in the long term, my ev for this situation is $35. From this, is it right that on Holdem Manager ev $ diff positive figures are 'bad' in that you have been 'unlucky' and ev $ diff minus figures mean you have done better than you should have.

I am very very pleased with HE Manager. Dunno why I didn't get it years ago. Doh.

The answer to the question "misplayed set?" should (very nearly almost) always be: "did you go broke?"

The answer to the question "misplayed set?" should (very nearly almost) always be: "did you go broke?"

And if the answer is yes then no you didn't?

And if the answer is yes then no you didn't?

Indeed.

Note to self: perform gibberish check before hitting "submit". Then again, it's never bothered me before. :D

If you don't lose a lot of money when you lose with a set, you've played your set wrong
