Flop middle set in a big pot. What's the play?

[turnipmonster]

the general problem I have with minraising is good players will fold to minraises because they know what they imply, and minraises are rarely bluffs. oftentimes it's easier to fold one pair to a minraise than it is to a bigger raise.

that's why minraise bluffing is so damn profitable vs. good players [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] - especially when they see you minraise a set against a bad player...

minraising as opposed to raising pot with nuts/nothing seems like it would pretty much be a wash, except for when you give cheap cards to a draw. maybe someone can explain why it's better than raising more? for the purposes of this argument, assume in the case of raising the pot we've trained our opponents well enough so that they know we generally bet and raise the pot (i.e. a pot raise seems normal coming from us).
