Having trouble getting away from big pairs. Please help

[spamalot]

Just as the subject says, I am overplaying big pairs a lot of the time and am having difficulty laying them down. Particularly perplexing is on a rag flop when I lead out and get minraised it is very often a set. What is the best way to minimize exposure without getting run over? Here is an example. If I was pushed back out do I simply lay it down?

Make it $60, and yes.

and if he calls the $60, then what do I do on the turn. My default is generally to just shove it in on the turn barring a scare card

Sorry, I thought we were in position here. Also, this is in the wrong forum.

I just call the flop raise and re-eval from there, possibly c/r turn.
