NL25 - Big pot with middle set - Line check

[Elrohir]

Button is not a good player, he's started the session by being extremely passive but has become more agressive. His stats are 68/14/0.5 on 90 hands. UTG is 75/0/0.3 on 12 hands.

I would play the same.

I mean bet $25 on the turn. You want his money from his Qx hand as soon as possible before a scare-card comes on the river.

Plus he might be more willing to call all in river bet even if the river is scary because the pot is $20 bigger.
