You are playing .5/1 NLHE.
You are dealt AA in early position and make it 5 to play. You pick up 2 callers.
Flop comes Q75 rainbow.
First to act, you bet 10 into a 16 ish pot.
Player 1 folds, and Player 2 moves all in for your 100 or so remaining.
Do you:-
a) Call
b) Fold

Will wait for some thoughts and votes before I post any more.
I want to see people's thoughts on the matter, as I have thought about this hand a lot.

Call all day long.
Then reload and get the chips back off him if need be.
Ok he may have a set but could be AQ,KQ,QJ whatever
At these levels it might be overplaying a hand not a set

He tries to milk you with a set in a cash game, not win it there and then

That was one of the things which I was thinking about at the time.
If he had QQ, surely he would have flat called as to get me to bet into him on subsequent streets?

Depends on the notes I had on the player. If I had no read/notes I would probably call-its a cash game and you can easily reload.
Why would the raise be so big with just a set? Ok we all know about the overbetting monster hands principle online but I would still call.
If he had QQ he wouldve reraised preflop most of the time (most players would), so if he does have a set it would have to be
or
. It easier to have a hand like AQ than 55 or 77 up against you (there are 6 combinations of cards making 55 or 77 and 9 ways of making AQ). On the pure maths side of things it is therefor more likely he has AQ. Without alot more information it is very difficult to say what I would do for certain but on the info given CALL, sometimes you have to say "fkit- if you got it you got it". On a board of say 9TJ I would say fold but on that board I would call and probably lose (you wouldn't be posting unless you hadn't called and lost).

At these levels it might be overplaying a hand not a set
..and could also be misplaying a set. He's hit trip Queens, got excited, and pressed the all in button whilst reaching for the box of kleenex.

I reckon the other bloke played 5 7 suited, and ended up hitting a backdoor flush
