Re: 33 with position
Consider if villian has shown down QJ, KQs, non-PP raising preflop. If he has, I'd consider a raise on the flop to throw him off of that AK, KQ. If he hasn't, it's either hit the set or fold to a...

Re: Playing pocket AA and KK
Make sure you win more when they have KQ than you lose when you have a set. That way, you'll win in the long run.

Re: A7s, too early to play? Or played wrong?
It seems like the BB would check-call if he had the Ace, unless he was bluffing, which seems to be almost pointless at micro-stakes limit hold 'em. I agree, nice raise to throw him off the Ace, but...
