Re: when do i know my set is beat?
 

you dont

set = all in

raise flop
raise turn bigger

Re: when do i know my set is beat?
 

never...

leading flop or c/r'ing are ok, but since its so dry and he overbet i dont mind a c/c - let him continue his bluff.

on the turn your c/r needs to be much bigger, raise his small bet to ~$4, if he shoves snap call. if calls, shove any river

Re: when do i know my set is beat?
 

I would gladly play for stacks here.

He min raises and then bets 2x pot on flop? Either a huge hand or a mad QQ or some random hand. I like a call.

Turn: Now there is a bad door FD and a gutter hit. I'm not paying any attention to these. Check raise to around $5 and try to get the rest in on the turn/river.

Re: when do i know my set is beat?
 

You weren't aggressive enough, don't slowplay in uNL!
Preflop call is fine. Bet the flop, at least potsize, though a checkraise is fine also if he's aggressive enough. After you checked and he bets twice the pot I'd raise! He seems to want the money in the pot, so raise about 5-6$ and shove every turn/other bet. You're hand is good on the flop at least 90% of the time.
The smallish bet on the turn makes me believe he picked up a draw, so don't mincheckraise (Don't check to begin with, bet the pot or more!). His 4-bet makes me believe he might actually have TQ, KK, 99 or JJ so now I might consider calling and getting a cheap showdown + cursing myself for the slowplay.

Re: when do i know my set is beat?
 

thx so long guys.

youre probably all right with my too small bet on the turn, but i was hoping for him to put all the money in.

Well it turned out he had JJ and beat me on that one.

but the possibilty to be beaten by a higher set is fairly low, so i would always do that again

thx..
