Push. Ardent will fold and the other guy will show AQh, slowplayed AA or KK, or maybe either of the 2 other sets on the board. If it's the higher one, oh well, but I don't think you can fold here.

I guess 9T(h) or (os) is possible here come to think of it, but it's still unlikely.

Just made the same call about 2 hours ago. flop came jack, 7, 5. I had pocket 5's. Two people went all in before me and I called. Dude had pocket 7's DOH

ez call. can't hardly ever fold a set in a raised pot, particularly when there is really only 1 other made hand out there that can beat u.

scary board if someone called the 3 preflop with a suited connector, but EZ call... AA KK QQ no good... Axs draw is possible, but dont think he would of pushed it all in, so you are up again pckt pair.

You played it fine. I don't think I can really fold a set here. You have an overpair crushed, you're ahead of any drawing hand, and a higher set is way too unlikely not to call. Even had villain flopped the nuts, you are far from drawing dead and are still only a 65/35 dog. Easy call here. You played it well, you just got unlucky
