But at the same time dont be betting (hands with showdown value) when you are only called if beaten. If a third flushcard comes and you have your set then you dont want to "take a stab" and hope he folds. You value bet if you think hell still call with a pair, but you want him to call that bet. If you think he folds anything except a flush then its almost always correct to just check it down and scoop a decent sized pot.
