i thought about both raising/folding this preflop.decided to just call,I can call a raise fold to a shove or see a cheap flop with position.
On the Flop I don't think bigger set plays this way as the board is fairly dry only a str draw? Only over pr or Jx/maybe Ax but not likely.

Well played. Preflop call is best and we put happily all chips in the pot in flop

Just a ty for all your input on my play.

I figured if it was set over set so be it. And if there on a draw make them pay.

Worrying of set over set situations in sng games is useless most of time as stacks are relatively shallow. Versus unknowns it's completely futile as we can see here. Villains play top pair weak kicker hands like the nuts... BB already overplay his hand with pot size bet to begin with.

Yep.
Sure, sometimes you're gonna get set over setted and be dead for one out, but much more combos that go broke are pretty much drawing dead to you(TP, Twopairs) and some are just draws.

You don't play 44 to try to hit top set.

The time to worry about set-over-set in a SNG is when you don't have a set yet, and are considering whether to play a hand like 22. The possibility of set-over-set decrease the value of low pairs slightly. Once you flop a set, you should usually go broke with it, concentrating on the best way to get the money in against weaker made hands and protecting yourself from draws.

Similarly, you generally don't want to draw to hands like TPWK or bottom pair by playing hands like K2o. For example, when you are heads-up you might not call a raise with K2o. However, once you do hit TPWK, you shouldn't undervalue it.
