    Default Bottom Set, I'm too weak

    I'm not fairing well at 6-max to far, but its all thats going at the weird ass hours I can play now. This one has been bugging me all day.

    Hero ($343.45)
    MP ($42)
    Button ($252.25)
    SB ($294.10)
    BB ($72.80)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7, 7.
    Hero calls $2, MP calls $2, Button raises to $8, SB calls $7, 1 fold, Hero calls $6, MP calls $6.

    Flop: ($34) 9, A, 7 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, Button bets $20, SB raises to $40, Hero raises to $100, MP folds, Button folds, SB calls $60.

    Ok, blast away and talk me into it guys. He chats afterwards that he had AJ and he put me on AK. I just can't buy that. Looking back I'm not sure why I didn' pop it to more like $120 or so, I usually do.

    What hand calls that flop reraise? I can't put him on AJ . I haven't been crazy at the table bluffing or pushing people off with weak aces or anything. Would you guys call that flop with AJ?

    I can't put him on any realistic flush draw. Heh, maybe 10c8c. LOL. I'd think with his stats an AA reraise would have been in order preflop.

    It was screaming set to me, but now I think wouldn't a set have pushed over me on the flop?

    I go back and forth on all this. Maybe my too small reraise just made it harder for me to pinpoint. Im definitely having trouble adjusting to 6 max. I need to post way more hands.

    AJ makes okay sense to me tbh. He puts you on a non-two-club hand, so when not only a club but a jack hits, he thinks a push will maximise value. If, as he says, he puts you on AK (or indeed AQ) then he knows you can't have the flush draw and would probably have to fold TPTK to his push.

    Does sb really check/min-raise a fd? Perhaps he could but I just can't fold the turn here.

    This is such a gross spot that I don't think I can blame you for folding.

    Any range villain has on the flop is pretty much crushing you after the way the action went on the flop. I guess you beat 2 pair... but seems pretty unlikely.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
