Re: NL5 Flopped Set, strange Preflop-Aggressor, push in spite of read?
OK, first off, it's going to be really rare to find a full table of solid players at NL5. I think you are overestimating them.
Second, you got exactly what you wanted. Villain could have a wide variety of hands, including AQh, AK or A8, all of which you have beat. The big concern here is the min-re-raise. That screams big hand after cold calling the SB. With that, I narrow him to five hands: AA, KK, AK, AQh and 22. You're ahead of everything other than KK.
Push. If he has KK, I reload and take note of how he played it. If he has AQh, pushing here makes it so he has to make a mistake to call you. Anything less and you're pricing him in.
Folding a set here is a very strong (or VERY weak) play. As NL5 has more than it's share of monkeys, I don't know that I could ever do that here. Especially with no reads.
