My plan was check/raise on the flop but he didn't cbet. How about my turn play? Should we check/raise bigger and fold on turn?

I am not a professional on hand analysis, but I think your turn bet is fine. And yea bigger raise is good too, since you have made a set of 3, and your opponent seems to hit something when he made a over-pot raise.
However, i don't think the reason that we make a bigger check-raise is to fold when we face resistance, but to play for stacks, trying to get him all-in.

IMO, Folding a set on turn on a board that doesn't complete any straight or flush is a losing play in long run. Set over Set is truly a disaster, but then even Doyle said he would just gonna pay for it even if that happens. I guess it is because in long run you will lose even more money when you fold your set than calling/raise it.

Overall, I think you played pretty well, and I would have played the same way too.

Hi JustPlay4Fun

preflop: looks fine

Postflop: His line is definitely interesting. he eitehr slowplayed the flop or the K helped with. Unfortunately it could be a Kx with draw (rarely) or K9 for 2p or even AK.

So I don't think we can fold.
