Too over-cautious when I hit my set?

i'm pretty sure i was at the table when this happened. no real point to this post. just remeber seeing something very similar this morning.

I think I would for sure raise flop here.. you've got a bunch of outs plus ... may have the best hand already.. depending on the players.. i would bet the turn here too

Raise the flop you're good here most of the time.

Bet the turn. There's no real reason to believe anyone has a straight and even with the ugly board they will call with much worse. You also have a great draw.
