Pocket 4s hits the set. How far will you push?

Set mining against an early raiser when both players have decent stacks can work out well or sometimes costly. When you hit the set on the flop but the flop also brings an Ace and a King how far will you push your set?

Small pairs OOP against a caller

Over 65 hands the villain is VP 21 and PF 17. In this session he has folded to every continuation bet made against him.  He 3 bets 7% of his hands so as he calls this raise from the hero in early position we can probably conclude that he doesn't have a big pair. But the villain is happy to go all in on the river. Before you see his hand try and guess what it is...

A bad call with the lowest set?

Hitting a set with your small pair is great.  This villian has played 58 hands against you and has figures of VP 53% and PF 13%.  That's a wide range to hit this flop. He gets very aggressive on the river with AF figures of 2/1/1/5. How would you play this hand?

I've got Kings so who is calling my bets?

2c/5c microstakes 6max. The villain has VP17, PF 8 but AS 100. Up to now he has folded to all 3 bets so if he is calling this one what could his range be?  1010+? AQs? AKs?  Would he 4bet with KK, AA? When the flop gives the hero top set on a monotone board what could the villain be calling with?
