Re: playing a set when it\'s obvious you have a set
In late position you need to be calling these small raises with quite a few hands. Maybe not AT but AQ and 76s and A5s and 44.
You also need to generally raise when you flop something, unless its a cynch he's got you beat and will call the raise. So if you call the raise with 76s and the flop is A64 and he bets, you should raise; generally a little more than a pot-sized bet; which is what you'd do with AQ. Ditto for the set. Use the set to help steal these pots on the flop.
Playing the way you do (appearantly calling with AK on that flop), sure its tough to make any money with a set. Newsflash: if you only raise with sets they aren't going to call.
