It\'s a SET! is this the right play?
 

Villain has been making big raises preflop and is very aggresive post-flop. Is my play here correct?

Looks fine, id rather a raise on the flop but this is good too. If he has a higher set so be it, you wont fold, but he wont fold AK KQ AQ either which are his most likely holdings.

Re: It\'s a SET! is this the right play?
 

You are WA/WB on the turn. Since villain is so aggressive post flop, I would call turn, river.

If he checks river, bet 1/2-3/4 pot.

What?

Through in a raise somewhere and stack him. This is a great board for you. AK/AQ/KQ all pay you off, if he has top set i doubt he would play it that way the only hand i see you behind right now is JT if hes the type to raise with that.

FYP

By the way I think raising this flop is pretty bad. You slow down TPTK/TPGK and alot of hands that otherwise would keep firing into you.

I'd raise it up first time around(preflop), makes it play a bit different. As played I raise flop, your line right now looks just like many donks play sets

raise preflop...you're in CO and the only players in the hand so far are posters.

True, call turn raise river.
