You'll never get away from a hand like this if you slowplay it. Betting = information.

I make more big laydowns in my home game than anyone else I play with - and if you bet out and then re-raise the BB's raise....you begin to have enough information to assess BB's hand. Once he raises you twice I'd CONSIDER dumping BOTTOM set --- or atleast trying to get the cheapest showdown possible. Very read dependent though. I was going to fold my set to a suspected higher set exactly once, but I quadded the turn. So I stacked the poor guy who flopped top set.

You have to view lower sets as possibly (rarely) beat already...giving you one out.

Ok, here's a situation I would consider dumping a set because I was afraid of only an overset: My net worth is the same as it is now, I'm sitting at a cash game with a stack of 5 million dollars (life changing money for me) There's a hundred grand in the pot and my opponent has raised me all in and has me covered.

In real life, two raises without a possible flush or straight on the board isn't getting me away from my set ever. If I stack off, I stack off, that's why I play with an adequate bankroll.
