I don't really understand your reasoning here. How could you be sure of a bet from your left on this flop. UTG was the pf raiser. Wouldn't you expect him to bet? If he does, and you check-raise, you can only drive BB out (if even him). It turned out that his was the draw that would come in, but you couldn't know that on the flop.

Actually, I quite like the flop line you took. Bet out, hoping that the pf raiser raises you, thus maby clearing out some of the 3 players behind him.

Ugh.

Why do you want to clear out a bunch of players behind you? You have a monster hand on a ragged, relatively drawless board. You WANT people calling so you can get paid off on your set. Trap the field.
