Exactly.

Again, I was never expecting the set as I was never reraised.

What about just calling the turn? Even though you raised the flop he is betting now, which probably shows some strength... would calling be too weak here cause you want to kick the other players out?

Boy, I NEVER would have had him on 77! Guess he was slowplaying them. Had you raised the river and he come over the top of you, that would have clued you in that something was wrong. At that point, you have to call him down and, if you followed my advice, you would have lost an extra BB!

This is exactly how weak players play flopped sets. They bet-call a raise and then bet again on the next street. It is pretty easy to pick out, so when you see someone who never 3-bets or check/raise go for an SNG, it's almost always a monster.
