2/5 FR. Eff stacks $500

Typical hand where I get kinda lost:

Folded to Hero in CO w/2 red Queens

PREFLOP: Hero raises $15, button calls, BB raises to $40, hero and button calls. $15 is a little less than my standard opener, but wanted to get some action and not just take the blinds. BB could be thinking I an raising light to steel and putting a squeeeze on Button.

Flop ($120): black A, Q, T 2-suited (A&Q)

BB bets $40 (and has ~$420 behind) Hero and button have $460.

So what is my plan for the hand? I have trouble in these spots because:

- I am ~66% to alot of the draws out there, WB monsters like AA or KJ, and WA of AK, AQ, AT, TT. And if I push I'm most likely getting called only when behind.

- Button is still behind me.

- If I just call I put in close to 20% of my stack and I would probably call a scarey turn looking to catch a boat on the river.

1) Usually I'm like zOMG I have a set, push, and if I lose blame variance. But is that the right play?


2) How do things change with $1000 starting stacks? Say I flat call and the Turn blanks. We call a PSB and one on R (if that blanks too)
