Default Re: Is it ever possible to avoid getting busted by sets?

I actually had a situation like this last night. (.25/.50 blinds)

I'm in mid position with 44 (four handed game) and raise 2.25, I get raised 6.5 total. I call because we've both got about $200 stacks at this point and I have a very aggressive image in this game. Flop is 4-3-8 and i lead out $7, I get raised to $22 total. At this point I know the TAG player has QQ/AA/KK and am pretty happy but don't know how to proceed.

I feel that if I re-raise I will give away my hand, but calling likely would also. I ultimately decide to make his $22, $57 and he thinks and flat calls me after a little while (slightly confusing). Turn comes 9 and I bet $100 and he pushes his remaining 25 or so and shows QQ.

IMO it was not that difficult of a fold for him on the flop when i make it $57. It was about the 7th or 8th hour of play and that likely had something to do with the decision. As did my really aggressive image at the game. He's a member of here so maybe he'll see this post and have additional input
