Default Re: flop a set, how to extract?

My response is different than anybody else's... why do you raise the flop? If you don't raise the flop, you have not given away the strength of your hand. By reraising on the flop, you are saying you have something good --- probably better than top pair since there has already been a bet and a raise. I like smooth calling the flop, almost certainly the SB will come along. If a scare card comes on the turn, play it cautiously, but here, somebody could have easily have a made hand. Then make your move on the turn, not the flop. If it is checked to you, you can safely bet 3/4 of the pot --- it might look like a semibluff or a steal if you bet then. If it is bet into you on the turn, you can then raise it.
