1/2 flopped set in sb

Villain is a white woman in her 50's and reg at the casino but I've rarely ever played with her. I see her limp call a lot, never raising pre, and one time this short session with her she 3bet my btn raise from her utg+1 limp, I folded.

My image up to the hand in question was quite laggish overall and was caught bluff-raising someone on a flop not long prior to this. My stack at the time was around $400.

She has about $200 stack and limps again utg, 3 limp behind, I have 44 in sb and complete. Flop is 1094. I lead for $10, bb ($300) calls, villain raises to $25, everyone folds to me.

Do you guys generally call or reraise here? On one side of the coin, being oop and calling kinda sucks with potential face cards on the turn maybe killing the action from her if she is raising any 10x. Conversely, reraising is perhaps too strong with bb still in the hand.

I'd call. I don't see a lot of people reading your set. You have a decent board, no flush-draw problems...MAYBE OE straight draw.

I call, see turn, reraise there for sure. If she is reraising 10-x I don't see a face-card really scaring her away. Plus if it drops low on the turn, you bet, she'll reraise and you can reraise back.

Really? I mean I guess by description she plays PPs just like this but why is a set more likely than T9?

Why is it that everytime someone is raised they think villian has a set? There are a TON of hands that would raise OP in this spot, especially given that OP was caught bluffing recently and has a laggish image. Most players at 1/2NL will stack off with TPGK and they will 100% stack off on this board with T9.

I see little need for deception here, min-ish raise her back. I'd 3bet here to $60. This opens the door for her to think you are making a move on her and to shove against you or enables her to call with JT, QT, and even A9 type hands. Once she calls, pot is $150 ish and she will have $140 remaining enabling you to lead out on turn for $80-ish and then get it all in on the river for the remaining $60 no matter what card comes on the river.

I'm never worrying about set over set 100BB deep, if it happens, it happens.

Lastly, since you are OOP you need to lead out on turn and river, don't get cute with a c/r turn after you 3bet flop. At the same time, don't shove turn if she calls. Yes I know the pot is $150 ish and she only has $140 ish remaining, but all-in shoves will fold out weaker tens (especially if scare card hits on turn) however an 80ish bet won't.

Grunch

Re-raise. You have a LAG/bluffy image. Also, given that she limp/rr before she can now show up with AA and KK here.
