Villian is unknown, first hand at the table.
Anything wrong with getting our money in here on the flop, I am not sure what villian will call us with when I 4bet.

Standard. He's not folding TPTK, 2-pair or combo draws, so just try to get it in there. Flat-calling his 3bet shows even more strength than just pushing all in. I'd hate to flat-call and then get a scare-card on the turn that might prevent villain from getting stacked.

Reraise preflop all day. And get it in on this flop.

Preflop is fine imo. They're are certainly some advantages to 3-betting, but we're read-less and villains stack size makes post-flop awkward after we 3-bet.

yeah, remember its not ONLY about what we're beating now that will pay us off (which there are plenty of hands that will); its also that even against most of the hands that beat us we have a good chunk of equity against, making it worth a call regardless. either way, felt it.

preflop call is not standard but w/e

Flop: your first raise is terrible. there is $5 in the pot and villain has 79.40 behind and the flop is very drawy, bump minimum to $10, i'd lean to $12. After that getting all the chips in with a set against a 3/4 stack in a blind blind battle is oh so standard.
