This type of situation sometimes produces a dilemma. It is a classic slow play situation, the hidden set, and when it comes off you can get paid by someone with two pair or TPTK. Conversely, slow playing the set can be dangerous as it allows an opponent a cheap crack at a draw. I guess you have to make a decision based on your position, stack size in relation to the other players, and what you know of your opponent. If you are really worried, it is better to bet your set - better to pick up a small pot than lose a big one!

Some players have no idea of hand value and cannot consider your cards. They have a couple of small suited cards and dream the word "flush". When they hit, they might win, unless up against a bigger flush. make them pay to play their draws.
