NL50 - Set of Queens - Line Check

[pkrPlayerBr]

Although it was this player's first hand at the table, I had him at 24/22/4/300+.

As I look at the board I can only think of 3 types of hands:
1) PP- JJ-88
2) Lower Set
3) Flush draw

Here is my thought, the board is really dry and I still have 2 players to act. I am definitely not calling, I am rasing.

The question is how much should I raise? Should I shove in a spot like this to prevent a draw from hitting?

24$ seens fine. Just don't give him good odds.

My rule of thumb is to raise pot here, so that would be raising to $22. $24 will do too...

Thanks,
Exactly what I did.
