Final Board: 2 8 4 T J
Hero showed 4 4 and won $99.32 ($48.66 net)
BTN showed 5 3 and lost (-$50.66 net)

Can I ever think about folding here? Couldn't imagine he would float 97 or Q9 on that flop, and if he has a set - what can we do..

I don`t really like the preflop call (unless BB is a fish).

I would probably just call the flop and raise turn or river depending on the card. If you raise set on this texture you calling range is capped to 99(TT) and he can potentially 3 barrel you a lot. Also you loose value from his hands that can hit TP or bluff on a later street.

River is a call, because he can have all sets including 22 and the price is good. I wouldn`t expect someone to bluff in this spot tbh.

I just find most of the players too passive on NL50, so I prefer to play my sets fast.

Preflop fine, so is 3betting.

Flop is technically a x/c rather than x/r, X/r is still +EV though and can sometimes be higher EV if villain will level himself into thinking you have no legit value range on this texture.

Turn is fine.

River is fine, although unfortunately when villain jams the situation is no longer that profitable.
