Default SH middle set on a scary board.

Can i get away from this ?

4 handed game at Prima network 10/20$ NLHE
I have been playing for like 15 minutes, I am probably wieved as tight aggresive by my opponents. My main opponent here is a solid TAG, i dont expekt here do to anyting out of line, from what i have seen of her this game and on some other occasions she's been playing pretty straightforwardly.In this game she has been doing well and just doubled up agaisnt a big fish. The Game was almost full earliear but is beggining to break up now.

I am in the cutoff and raise it to 70$ with <font color="red">
4d</font> <font color="black"> 4s </font> I have 2,3k and everyone has me covered.
The button calls and BB calls and we see the flop threehanded with 220$ in the pot.

Flop: <font color="red">3h 4h </font> <font color="black">6c </font>

BB checks, and i bet 180$( as i do almost all the time i raise PF.), The button folds and BB min raise to 360 i go allin hoping to make it look like an AKs push. I guess folding is out of the question but i really dont think she is raising here without at least a good draw. She could have anything from 333 to 666 or maybe Ah 5h. Calling may be a good alternative holding position since she raised not so much.

if you can put her on a specific set of possible draws, why not raise small enough on the flop that she will take a turn, and then make her pay huge to see the river when she (hopefully) whiffs the turn? otherwise, youre only getting action here from a flopped top set, correct?

The push seems fine without an excellent read.

You can't fold this. There is no way you can put her on a straight, only 666 is a serious possibility.

Your goal here is to get as much as possible into the pot, it seems to me. I like your play of going all-in (if you think she'll call), or alternately reraising $700 on the flop and going all-in on the turn (another $1300, right?) if it's a blank.
