Default 1/2 Bottom set hand from Borgata

It's about 11AM, I started at 8PM the night before, and I'm up about $300. I have $250 on the table in front of me, because I put 3 black chips in my pocket when I changed tables a couple of hours before. On to the hand...

A 40 y/o guy raises in early position to $12. My read on him is that he's tight, but also a donk. I actually changed seats earlier to get better position on him. I call after one other caller with 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Three callers behind me.

Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He leads for $30 (his stack covers mine). What's my line?

Raise to 85-90. You want to bust him with a big ace here on the flop. Also-just calling might bring some cards that can slow your action.

Don't play your set the way a donk is going to assume you'll be playing your set-which is to say, sneaky. A weak player will never think you're raising with a set here-so go ahead and shock him.

this is probably the most standardest hand ever. raise the flop to 90-130 and shove the turn.

I really think you should raise up the flop here, no need to get tricky, just raise to like 100 and see what happens.

Wait, so he is first to act on flop? what did the guy after him do?

I guess I pop flop to like 80-90. Dont want a FD to chase cheaply.

I made it an even $100.

2 folds, the next guy painfully throws his hand away. It goes back to the 40 y/o, and he says something like "wow... well I'm all in."

I have something like $130 left.
