I lost the hand history to this one somehow but I'll try to explain it. The game is 25c/50c on Ipoker (10 Man). I was sitting with just over $50 and the other player in the hand was just under $50.

I get dealt  and there is a raise before me (to $2) I call and everyone else folds the flop comes down

 

The other player bets out ($4 into a $4.75 pot) I call - Might be a mistake here.The Turn comes

He bets $8 I raise to $20 and he moves all-in - I call, he shows JJ and more than less stacks me. Bottom set on this board? Is there much that moves all-in at this level that my hand actually beats? The only reason I ask is that I had a strong feeling that the guy had a set but could not bring myself to fold this - I am right to call in this spot?

In the long term, you will win much more when you flop a set comapred to the amount you will lose when you flop set under set.

Reload, move on.

I posted this in another forum recently:

Been playing with Poker Tracker this afternoon - all set under sets on the flop against me:

TT v KK KT6 $198-
77 v 99 976 $187-
44 v QQ AQ4 $162-

Difficult to identify all the times I had set over set as often the opponent mucks without showing.

That's in 19 months. My net profit from trips is just shy of $16,000.

As I said, I'm pretty sure you don't want to be folding them unless your oppo turns his cards over first.

How do you filter PT to find out your sets profit/loss?

Oh and I'm never folding here.  Call on the flop is fine too.
