Table image : Both me and villain have been pretty tight/aggressive, nothin way out of line.

Questions:
1. Hero ???? (what's villain's range, in your mind?)
2. Can you please provide your critique of my flop/turn bets given the stack size..
too much?
just right?
should I have gone for a check-raise? check-call? check-fold?

Looks like a flopped set to me. If I were on my A game, I could fold. However, here I just call and curse.

I'd have bet more on the flop, probably pot it or a little more. If someone behind me flat calls a bet that big, I'm checking the turn and going from there.

Check the turn. The 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] didn't complete any plausible draws. I'm not worried about a free card because I'm not paying off. I want to get to a showdown if I can.

Villian's turn raise says set to me. What hand could you beat here? QQ, JJ ... I'm not buying that.

Calls and if he loses to a set, [censored] happens, but in a tournament your villain's range is much wider.
