Default Re: Flopped set - what\'s your preference?

This depends on so many things.

Perhaps these are the most important factors:

How likely is villain to have a big pocket pair? And if he has a big pocket, how likely is he to raise my little over half-pot bet? Will he raise to take it down if he has AK (or whatever else)? Is he good enough to check the overpair behind on the turn when I go for the check raise? (If he is, check raising the flop is probably better in general, since I can lead the turn without showing the awful ammount of strength in a stop and go. But if he is good, I'll have to mix it up. (Leading and check raising with good hands/bluffs.))

Position and stack size is very important too. Ghazban summed that up pretty well.
