I am heads up in a $20 No Limit 6-max tourney and villain is fairly aggressive. I flop a set but the board is not exactly dry and if the villain raised with an Ace he has a 4 outer wheel draw. I lead on the flop- should I just open jam and try and take it down?- or do I check and try to induce a bet (and risk giving a free card)? As poker players we look for opportunities to get our chips in as a huge favorite, but it's just amazing how often I lose in this situation.
