Playing a set fast is good.
However, I think sometimes a read can allow you to stray from the path.
I had noticed Villain (69/19/3) had a tendency to overplay his good hands.
The following hand in particular, which went down 5-10 mins earlier,
set the whole thing up.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed)

Final Pot: $52
Results:
SB has 9h Ah (full house, nines full of threes).
Villain has Td Tc (two pair, tens and nines).
Outcome: SB wins $50.75. Villain wins $1.25.
...and here's the hand in question.
What do you think?
Good, or are you gonna tell me to "pot flop, 3/4 turn"?
