Pushing with a Set

in STT Strategy
How often do u guys push all in when you flop a set on the flop when your in later position faced with a decent sized bet? The Flop is say 9D 10D JH,and you have pocket 10's, so your looking at a possible straight or potential flush, do you still push in this position?

    tell me about your opponents, stack sizes and what has happened so far in the hand and i can give some kind of reasonable response...

    so far, it depends!

    much more information required. stacks? position? table image? your image? etc. etc.

    want to make them pay to chase their draws; if it cost you most of your stack to accomplish this, might as well push. You might already be up against a straight and therefore behind. If you still have plenty of chips left if you call the raise, you might want to call to see what the turn/river bring.

    Similar, but not quite. Here I get flamed for even remotely thinking of folding to two pushes with top set.

    You want to get all the money in on the flop any way you can

    whether you raise or shove depends on stack sizes but either way you want to get your money in as fast as possible

    I don't think pushing the flop was a way to maximize return here. What if he has AK, A9, etc. I can't actually feel the sarcasm in your post, but I sure hope there was some there.

    Why did you smooth call with JJ?? (that is what I am seeing correct??) I would have made it 900-1400 to go....at least define his hand a little more...
