Shovel and puke if he has pocket kings? Could he have AK? More likely to have AA?

Easy shove. You can't fold, calling just allows draws to get there. No reason to think he has exactly KK or JJ.

Dont stress if he has Aces or Kings. Get your money in the middle.

All in. Sure, you might be behind, but you called pre-flop to try and flop a set and you did. I don't see how you can fold now.

You're calling off 10% of your stack PF and folding when you get there?

Honestly, sometimes I don't get the questions.

Ha, I guess I think too much. Had a similar situation earlier with set of 7s over Aces either, so I just worry.

Cant possible fold there. You cant be scared to push with bottom set HU.

if you put him on AA-JJ pre-flop how about c/r for information on the flop here? leading out here, he's raising with AA and AK as well most likely. if he shoves if you c/r it's much easier to put him on KK or JJ...the way played, i see no choice but getting it in there. AA, AK just too likely to be there.

or i'm wrong.

If we were to check-raise on this flop and he comes over the top we beat him into the pot. No way does this make it easier to put him on KK/JJ. AA and AK are coming over the top here almost every time. Everyone needs to stop looking for ways to try and avoid set on set situations, they happen. When you stack AA or AK in this spot you don't give a second though to your flop decision so you should not in this situation. Getting the money in here is +EV, regardless of the fact that hero probably ran into KK in this case.

Shove it... only pause to consider typing "banzai!!" before you shove.

I do not understand how worried some people are. If he has a set so be it.
Must be very tight. I have a buddy who always puts other player on the nuts
or the nut draw. He will fold every time 3 to a suit comes out fearing the flush.
Guess what. Sometimes good hands lose. Get over it.
