villain is 13/11/2 over 150h
seems really nitty,
i flop a set, push? fold? call?
if i push, can i expect anything worse to call apart from AK or AA? Does he have those enough? When playing, it just seemed like a tough one... this nit hasnt played almost anything, so his 3bet is probably AA, KK, QQ or AK. I'm dead against KK and QQ. AA and AK have outs...

There are two hands that you fear on the flop.
What other hands are included in his 3 bet range and open bet the flop? AK, KQ, AQ, AJ, all in his range, as well as TT even would open the flop. If you raise on the flop he's probably not going away and he's getting the money in with the worst of it.

nutsinho will become famous soon enough
 raise/call or call down- folding the flop to his cbet or to any subsequent bet if no T comes is a terrible idea
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

I believe this is an example of when you can let go of bottom set. Yes the flop check is sub optimal.

UTG+1 HotSauce3 ($32.80)
CO vienuolis ($34.60)
BTN Mania88 ($23.15)
SB Hero ($24.50)
BB Monttty ($36.40)

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 6 players) Hero is SB
johnman1 raises to $1.25, 1 fold, vienuolis calls $1.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.15, 1 fold

Flop: ($4, 3 players)
Hero checks, johnman1 checks, vienuolis checks

Turn: ($4, 3 players)
Hero checks, johnman1 bets $1.50, 1 fold, Hero folds

Final Pot: $4

johnman1 wins $5.30 ( won +$2.55 )
vienuolis lost -$1.25
Hero lost -$1.25

Yep I'm still learning. I thought about that after I posted it. Classic case of doing before thinking both on the table and on the forums.
