You have the nuts here but as can be seen, anyone with a set is coming along if you don't price them out.....at these stakes don't try to get tricky, lead out rather than slowplay or try to trap, people will hang themsleves.

Here if you lead out for the pot, yeah you might only pick up the pot but you also are pricing anyone with AQ/AJ/AT from trying to draw on you and anyone with a set is making the wrong call to stay in as well.

Here you are 65% fav to win the pot given the holdings we now know (having stats on them would have made this a better exersize) and he is a 35% fav. You are offering him 3:1 with your bet and so calling with his set is right.

If you bet 2/3 to pot size on the flop you are offering him 3:2 or 2:1 and if he calls he is making a mistake, which is where we profit.

If you bet $3 on the flop, and he called or re-raised and it got all-in, then you make money. Doesn't matter if you got stacked or if you won, you still make money in the long-run and that is what you should be aiming for.
