Please see my hand history where I went all-in with my 6 set and lost to a bigger set.
I would appreciate any comments on my play and any suggestion?
How would you play this hand?

Well what I did write before I deleted was:
You're gonna go broke on this board always. Set over set, the scourge of our game.
Only 88 beats you here, can rule out KK (barring the player inducing behind). Can't see myself ever folding in this spot. You beat so many other hands in his range, flush draws, and all the Kx hands
Don't hate your check on flop but don't like it either. Almost always cbet K high board. He either has something to continue or he doesn't. If he hasn't, I want to give the player a chance to float in position and bluff later streets therefore want to build the pot asap.
Put it down as a cooler and gg.

oops, sorry didn't realize it was in the pros section
i am just about to move the thread, hand histories are expressly not for the ask the pros section.
other than that, i dont think i have ever folded a set on the flop, ever. even if it is 789sss. well maybe that board. but prolly not. you have redraws to everything except higher sets really. set over set is just meh

Curious to as why you checked flop? Your check min-raise looks so nutted IMO. You have a perfect stack to barrell 3 streets and get it in on the river. Only K in his range should be KQ really and I don't even know if he flats KQ there, unless he flats AK hoping for a squeeze. Not really sure what your reads are on villain, if he's spewy/aggro we should be betting this flop 100% of the time right?

Thanks evereone for your inputs.
I guess with a set this is normal to barrell no matter what.
Here is my thought process: Preflop I raised 2bb to make it harder for limpers. That worked. Only one player my left called. At that point, his range was pretty normal to me. After the flop, I do check sometimes (Not all the time) with good hands based how many players on the board. With one player, I didn't want to scare him as I was getting ready to barrell on turn. With only Kc on the board I wanted to see how he reacts to the flop. As I was out of position it's hard to tell what you opponent could have. With my surprise he bet little more then half the pot. Then I realized that he got connected to the board possibly AK, KQ, KJ, K10, K8, K6, or Flush draw. So I cbet and with another surprise he went all-in. At that point, I realized I am in trouble. He probably have another set or two pair. Flush draw at the point was out of question as his VP was 25 on over 60 hands. He wasn't aggro. But no matter what, I didn't want to fold my set and call.
Sadly, I lost and got out of the game.

Another Set over Set. But this time it's in my favour.
