Default Re: TT in BB - playing sets

We 3-bet pre-flop because our hand is in the upper equity range of starting hands. Even if UTG calls two more cold (incorrectly), we like that, because his Ax is toast a lot. Yes overcards suck, if the flop comes AJ9, then it doesn't look good, but even a flop like Qxx is worth betting. A check is inviting someone else to bet for us. If we check everytime we see an overcard on a flop, we are missing out on a lot of value.
