The way it was played, I think you have to fold to the flop bet.

Thanks again, the playing for sets worked a treat earlier when I caught a set of 6s to a raise of approx $1 from a fish overvaluing Queens worked out to about $20 which at this level is nice. Would ppl treat Tens and Jacks same way as you would like Sixes or play them slightly stronger. I think i'd tend to play them more aggressive but this may be a flaw in my game.

Nearly as strong as having QQ at a full table. It's best to get this heads up or take the pot down preflop. As a side note, it is reasonable to just call if the blinds are very loose when calling raises. But again, the blinds have small stacks, and if you are going to encourage a multiway pot, you probably won't make enough with your sets to make up for the times you have to fold because an over card comes in a multiway pot.
