Default Re: O/8 flop raise -- good play or not?

Flopping a set of A's is one of the hardest hands to play in O/8. Almost impossible to win without the board pairing. Check out the thread from last week comparing AAQ3 vs. AQQ3. While almost anyone would want the AA hand, it is almost impossible to get away from a flopped set of Aces yet if the board does not pair, you will be a loser to str8s and flushes. AA will cost you a lot over the long run - the question is will it make back enough in the long run.
As for your raise, you may chase out the low draws, but never a flush or str8 draw at low levels.
