Bottom set

[imported_Jim C]

Hi everyone, please comment, particularly on the river action, but anywhere really.

Button is a TAG. I have only 70 hands on him, but his play is solid. My stats on him, for what they're worth are 26/15/2.2.

The small blind is the fish of fish, and the reason I'm in the game (55/5.5/0.3). This is a truly terrible player.

I flop bottom set and the passive fish leads. I know a raise will put SB in check/call mode, and will likely fold out the TAG. I go for the overcall on the flop and turn, intending to put a raise in on the river. I don't like the river cap, but can't find the coconuts to fold. I have a set, the pot is small, I don't feel I need to protect my hand, and feel I should encourage the overcalls.

I lost with 6 out of 9 sets last night (I'm not telling which category this one is in), so I'd like some input to how I played this one.

Thanks,

Jim
