Going to try post some common (probably standard spots) during the course of this month - hopefully will be helpful to everyone playing in these games to have somewhere to discuss.

This hand is from 16NL Zoom and the reason I am posting this spot is I feel like I often get stacked by a set. It's probably not as often as I perceive it to be though. Basically you flop top pair or an overpair in a 3b pot from the blinds and are raised by an IP player. Whats your thought process? My default is to go into check call mode on dry boards and mix up check call with simply shoving on boards that are a bit more drawy.

Do you ever fold and if so what reads / stats are you looking at to make that fold? Just looking for any input into how to improve in these spots.
