Default Bottom set faces 3bet from short stack on the flop.

How do I get the most value out of this? Call, raise or shove?

SB: $20.25
BB: $30.05
UTG: $57.10
MP: $47.50
CO: $49.75
Hero (BTN): $53.65

Preflop: Hero is dealt 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, SB folds, BB calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.25) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)

Any reads on villain? I'd probably push here.

Shove, there's no other amount to raise that gives max value.

Putting in a raise is standard. A couple cards can kill your action. You have a redraw to a better hand if villain is ahead or makes a str8. If your all in or commited, you can't make a mistake if a scare card shows up.

Straight forward is best.

You'd need a read that villain is pretty loose and will bluff aggresively but not call large bets or something like this.

Push- he already has about a third of his stack in the pot so should be easy call w/ over pair or TPTK. If overset- oh well, reload. Like jjb108 said- decisions suck when scare card comes.

I'm not actually thrilled to be facing this 4-bet, since, unless Villain thinks you're FOS or is determined to push you off of your hand (and that's not too likely since he keeps betting and raising the minimum), he's saying he can beat an overpair, and oversets and 98 are the most obvious hands that can do that.

Still, he bet an amount that kind of invited a raise by any two cards, and he got that raise, and hopefully he thinks his AT is good or something, or he just wants to gamble with his T9, or his preflop smooth-call with AA backfired.

Anyway, I think I would go ahead and push.
