25nl Tough top pair top kicker decision

[mop06]

Villain is 25/6/78. Should I call his all in here? Is my flop raise ok?

Easy call. Sometimes I just smooth call the flop too, if he likes to bluff. I generally dont fold TPTK in RR pots for 100 bb but thats just my opinion.

I would beat him into the pot with his aggression factor. The only hand you have to worry about is AJ or JJ. You could felt him if he has AQ many times. If he has either of those two hands then maybe you will runner runner a flush [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What's your table image? Unless its some kind of crazy, he has to give you cred for a pretty big hand based on your pre-flop raise. Given that, I doubt he's 3-betting allin with anything you beat. I think your raise on the flop is a little big (prefer ~$6), and to a certain extent it commits you to a call when he pushes. Its a tough laydown, but you don't want to get into the habit of paying off sets whenever you have TPTK. Fold and wait for a better spot.
