Is this what you do on this board with a set? I just need to know it's the standard play.

I am pushing here every time.

Set over set is very rare and with the board here it is almost impossible (limp w/AA?).

Looks like 2 pair (Ax) to me. Probably A3 (as you have two of the 4s).
Could be AK or AQ is this player is real tight pre-flop.

Yeah, this is standard though the double minraise is scary.

What can you possibly be scared of?
The only remotely possible hand that is beating the hero is a str and that is SO unlikely.

villain had 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] here? That's the only hand I can really understand here. Maybe AK, AQ, A3, 33? AK is possible. I sometimes see people limp with AK or AQ and then go crazy on a flop that hits them. None of these hands are beating you, so it's a shove. I don't really see villain holding AA or 25 often enough.

All in on flop with set on non-monotone board = good.

Honestly, at $25 NL I just push after his first minraise and expect to get called almost every time.

Villain had 52 for the straight and MHING.

Postflop is fine, but does anyone else prefer a raise preflop here?
