I recieve pocket queens on the button. 4 limpers, two in early position, one in middle position and the cutoff all limp. I raise the Pot BB calls, EP re-raises all-in. I call and the BB calls. Flop comes Qc-9c-7h BB checks to me. I raise the pot (about $60) and he folds. I beat the all-in's AQ with my set.

What I am wondering is if I should have made such a big bet on the flop. My thoughts were that if he were on clubs or the straight I had to make it expensive. However, my set was definetly the best hand at the time and I am not sure I wanted to fold him out.

JH,

I would bet the pot or near to it, especially if the stacks are large. A bet is expected: might as well make it count the most for those times you get check-raised. You are unlikely to entice a bluff check-raise with a smaller amount if your opponents are decent because of the all-in player.
