Average buy in is $300.Hero is in BB ($300). UTG, MP and SB all limp. $35 pot.Hero is dealt Qh Qd. Raise to $40. Only UTG ($300) calls.Flop: 2 3 5, two spades.Hero bets $70. Villian min. raises to $140.What's our next move?

Any reads on villain? If he's somewhat tight I'd probably dump it. No sense in getting married to one pair on a super-coordinated board.Hero's next move is to slap villain for making a min-raise.

Hero shoves. It's not really close IMO. Villain paid the wrong price preflop to hit a set, so stacking off here isn't -EV. It also sets the tone for the rest of the game that you can't be pushed around.

There is no read on the Villian. It was the first hand of the night, and I had never played with him before.I did indeed shove, and he turned over Ac4c for a flopped wheel.I just don't see how I can put him on A4 when he cold calls a $40 SB raise with two people to act behind him.Oh well, just didnt turn out to be a good night overall.

I probably call and see a turn card. If it's dangerous. it's easier to dump, if not, you were going to go broke on the flop anyway right? I hate getting married to Queens.

I put him on pockets, maybe 10's or lower. Calling $40 raise with A4 oop? he gambled well.Either way i would have called the extra $70 for sure and see what he does on the turn. But you got the information you needed, just hope it didn't cost you all your money.
