Default Re: 5/10 OOP set vs overpair

I play in a different type of game, but...

If I have an overpair and see a flop like that, and I'm lead into by certain players, I'll muck my overpair on the flop.

The argument that leading with your set into a PF raiser who most likely has an overpair is standard is just wrong.

If you flop a set OOP in an unraised pot, then leading is correct most of the time, but in a raised pot things are much different. If your standard line is to lead into PF raisers (assuming they are not idiots) with your sets, then I think you are leaving money on the table.

My qualifier for this is that if you're playing in very tough/deep games there are more times when leading here may be correct, but against an average opponent, I don't like it.
