No way im folding the 2nd set here. If you are letting go of sets this often on a raised pot than you are playing way too weak/tight and you might as well stop calling raises with pocket pairs altogether.

Get all the money in here and go broke if you have to.

I definatley do not make it a habit to fold sets, to be honest i cant remember the last time i folded a set. but here i had a read and went with it. remember im only posting hands i have trouble with, so if i post a set laydown, it doesnt mean im laying down sets all the time. In this case i had that feeling, u know the feeling? when u think for ages and u just have that voice in ur head saying ur behind, but u wanna call so bad. I used to have the problem of calling when i have that feeling, and 85% of the time im beat, so now im working folding when i have that feeling. this probably doesnt make much sense but yea watever.....

You should fold preflop if you aren't willing to go broke here. A queen or higher will come on the flop about 45% of the time, so you need better than 8:1 to call for set value. And if you do hit a set on a J high or lower board, you aren't stacking QQ-AA every time.
