Default 25/50 Frustrating Spot

Long time reader - first time poster.(sorry no hand converter)
Hey guys,


Don't normally play this game, hence no substantial reads.
Blinds: 25/50 6max
Stacks: Villian 6kish, Hero covers

Villian raises UTG+1, Hero calls 175 on btn w/ 77.
Flop: K73 rainbow. Villian chks, hero bets 375. Villian calls (???)

Turn: Q (no FDs) Villian Chks, Hero bets 850, Villian CR to 2150. (I vomit and think the following: Std peel w/ qq and hit set? kkk? I'd rather be CR on flop by hands like, AK, AA, and random air and 3bet there. But a small turn CR shows so much strength to me.

Villian has around 3500 behind how do you guys proceed from here?

If you call, how do you play a river K/Q?
What is the range for Villian here?
If you shove turn, how often are you coolered?

Any and all input/thoughts welcome. Thanks.

if this is a frustrating spot for you then you shouldnt be playing these stakes.
call turn and call any river, or shove river if checked too.
if he has a higher set u just reload, whats the problem? i bet u see KQ and some random crap like AJ,AT here at least half the time.

ya sure you'll get coolered occasionally here but you cant worry about coolers like that, the only thing you should think is that more often than not you will have the best hand here

I felt like calling may be the best turn play here. A shove will be called by a better hand more times than not, whereas calling gives villian the chance to try push somethin random again on river to get me off. But at the same time I'll be getting a nice price to call a river shove so it's unlikely he'd bluff river.

fold pf, only play for set value with hands that will make top set

Why would you want top set rather than a lower set? Set over set is so rare, and top set means going up against top pair is very unlikely. I would be very surprised if anyone makes more money flopping top set than they do flopping bottom set.
