villain is what appears to be a standard tag, we kind of have stayed out of each others way as they were plenty of fish at the table
I call his 3bet because of odds for set value and position

then I flop bottom set. He cbets 2/3pot, and I wonder what to do as we are fairly deep.

I raised, because I wanted to build a pot, and I didn't want some scary card for him to come (like an ace, a jack, even a king) but it appears to me that I show tremendous strength by raising here, he really can't call me but with AA but he can 3bet-shove AKs, maybe AQs which I am in good shape against

If I flat call, well its bittersweet because if he has AKs he is getting a cheap turn, and if a scarecard comes, he can shut down. But if a blank comes he will probably fire a 2nd barrel or at least check/call with an overpair

what would you do here ?

either call or make a raise to ~20-21$. 28$ too much IMO.

i prefer a call. and hope that the heart doesn't kill your action on the turn :).

minraise!

small raise is best imo (~20-22$)

I doubt standard tag very often 2nd barell as a bluff or weak semi-bluff in 3 bet pot (on nl 50)
so, imo, calling soesn't make much sense
as he'll c/c most of the turns
+ the board is drawy

but i would also raise smaller


I agree with smaller raise, I ****ed this hand


I think you played it fine. The guy just had nothing and made a cbet.
Raising the flop is the only possibility to get tptk all-in on the river I think.
Call on flop raising the turn looks much stronger and tptk will fold there most of the time.
Also if the guy had an overpair here he would raise. If you just call here too many cards will kill your action, every ace or king (if he has queens) or any heart.

Well, he often didn't have much, but its not played well. Raise less or call hoping to get a second barrel. You don't want to bet so big and produce too much fold equity.

I don't know, I think the raisesize is fine. You have enough money behind so he can make a move if he wants to and I think he raises as a bluff as often to a 27$ bet as he raises to a 20$ bet.
If he has a strong hand (TPGK+) we don't have to worry anyway.

We can also consider to slowplay here, because very often, lowstakes players either have nothing really worth to play with on that board or they have an overpair, which they will fire again on the turn.
