I'd call but definitely not for set value only (set's nice, but not totally necessary). Definite value in just calling here.

I think call>fold>raise.... how does this situation with play out with QQ though? I think it'd be a much more interesting spot.

If you have no reason to think he's out of line, fold. You have to stack him like EVERY time you hit a set to pay for running into a big pair.

if we call and it gets HU, we have more than just set value.

if we call and its 3 way, we can nit up if we didnt spike a set, and implied odds increase due to multiway pot. more likely to get a bet in etc.

I don't get why people don't like a push. Unless you're gonna fold on safe flops and just play for set value, what's the advantage of just calling?

why would anyone ever fold JJ preflop

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe because they realize JJ isn't as strong as it seems?
