Hand that make you cringe, then shove over...

On this hand, villian was 26/26/8 but only over 23 hands and had been playing tight. He was one of the larger stacks at the table, winning most of his hands at showdown with very good cards.

I called this hand hoping to hit a set... when I hit it and he continues... I was worried he might be sitting on QQ but I figured set vs set and I'm paying him... worked out well for me
