Pot odds are defined(if there's nobody left to act). Implied odds are obviously trickier to figure. Depends on lots of variables.

My pot odds are crap, but my implied odds say that if I hit a set on the flop I stand a good shot of cleaning out both players ahead of me? So I should call, but if I miss my set get out unless I can stay in for free?
You're probably only going to clean out one guy(if you're lucky). I generally like to get in cheap to hit a low/mid set, but you can call a larger bet if you think you can de-stack him AND both of your stacks are deep enough. You're normally folding your ducks to any flop bet and moreso if there is >2 in the pot.

Generally slow-playing a set on an uncoordinated board is the standard move with some bets occasionally to mix it up. The more coordinated or players are in the pot, the more you want to bet your set vs. checking. Second scenario isn't much different. If they have AQ/KQ you're way ahead. If they flopped trip queens you're losing your stack anyway.
