Re: low limit multi-way hand. Please berate me.

i agree with aargh57, betting out the flop doesn't protect your hand against any flush/ straight draw. Preflop action came from the CO, looks perfect for a CR to charge the draws 2 bets. After that, never fold a set and hope to fill up when on the river after the board gets ugly on the turn.

This is silly. The pot is 16.5 SBs. If the CO bets out like you want, and either the button or BB calls, your raise is offering 20.5:2 or over 10:1. With implied odds, a gutshot is right to call there. Flush draws don't care about a raise, they're getting odds to call anyway. Anyone with a pair is getting odds to call and hit their 5 outer.
A checkraise isn't really any better at protecting the hand than betting out.
Here's the rub: You don't really need to protect your hand here. You have a set. Yes, there are straight/flush draws out there. But you're well ahead of them and have 7, then 10 out re-draws to a boat. Bet out and hope you get raised so you can 3-bet.
