JJ and KK would have raised preflop. You're only really afriad of 99, QT, and the flush draws. I think I shove here.

push. Gotta get paid with trips when you get them, especially at low levels.

I agree with Misfire. Even if you are beat with QT you have outs, and 99 would have bet the flop with the strait draw's. Good place to get a lot of chips and be dominate chip leader. And that is what it is all about right.

Doesn't matter what action you're seeing, ship it in. You just need to know 2 things:

1. You're playing a $3.40 sng.
2. You have a set.

reason number 1 is why i wonder if it might be more +ev to just c/f the flop if i get a caller or two when i raise with q's or k's preflop and an ace comes on the flop. lots of players call raises with ace-anything at $3.40. maybe a probe bet is more +ev for one caller and c/f is better for multiple

Yes, if I raise with KK and get 3 callers and the flop comes AJT two toned, I'm c/fing(I play the 5.50s and people play horrible there as well). If I get called by one guy when I'm oop I'll fire a probe bet, depending on the circumstances, if I'm called or raised I'm done with the hand.
