$2 NLHE Full Ring: Flop a set, villain made straight on the turn, should i have seen it?

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 22/22/1

Hey everyone, me again.

Hero holds 66 on the BB. Hero and villain are both stacked ~100BB

folds to villain on the button (22/22/1) who raises to 2BB.
folds to hero, calls

flop ( 4.5BB, 2 players ) comes Ah 10s 6c

Hero checks
villain raises 3BB
Hero reraises 9BB
villain calls

turn comes 8d

hero raises 3/4 pot
villain reraises
hero pushes
villain calls

River comes 2s

Villain shows 7c 9c

Sort of went on tilt after this hand and quit for the day. his ATS was 0, pretty low with a sample size of 60, which i guess isnt a lot. So i figured his raise was a Axs or some broadway, thats why i wasnt so worried when the turn hit and made a straight. Would you guys have played this hand differently?

In retrospect for a villain 23/23/1 raising on the button when everyone folds to you with a suited gapper isnt that outlandish, actually i probably would have done the same.

Do you guys think i should have respected his reraise on the turn and just called?

As an aside, I'm really having a problem with the plethora of maniacs/extreme fish at the microstakes. A lot of the strategies in articles I ready dont really apply to them. A lot of them seem to do pretty well with stats like 60/20. For example how do you isolate a fish when theres three people at a full ring table with VPIPs +40.

Thanks as always for any help,

Quantum

Would be happy to get stacks in on this board, the only things beating you are higher sets and 79. If there is any chance of villain stacking off with 2 pair then this is fine.

As for beating the fish, just bet, bet, bet when you have the goods. And make those bets larger than normal, they won't pick up on any difference in bet sizings so feel free to go near pot sized bets when you have good hands. Their biggest mistake is generally calling too much so to combat that you don't bluff very often and when you have a hand just bet at them and let them call you down, never try to slowplay anything...

Obviously at micros you should respect when someone plays back at you (although some players do bluff, contrary to what I've read), however this is really just a bad beat. The plethora of maniacs and fish means I wouldn't be surprised to see players doing this with 2p. Stacking off with sets is almost default on this kind of board where the ONLY draw to hit is 79. I'd have been worried about a higher set than 79.

Don't set-mine against button raises. 3-bet or fold pre depending on his stats.

You want to set-mine in situations where your opponent will likely be making 1 pair hands they can't fold. On the button, they'll have more hands that draw to straights & flushes. Plus it's harder to get paid when you hit from OOP.

Play these hands 10 more times the same position and such you come away up.

Like the others said, I don't love the check, but I think it's fair if you feel he had a weak Ace or he c bets a lot. I also think KQ is in his range which would make the hand play the same if you swap a 8 for a J, except maybe you expect it.

A 2 BB steal attempt in late position isn't awful though, so a 3 bet was probably in order here a well. Winning 2.5 BB preflop isn't horrible with a small pair. I doubt he re-raises you unless you've seen him 4 bet a ton, which I doubt you have since the situation probably won't come up a ton.
