yes, you should slow down with a 3-flush especially if you are multi-way. this doesn't mean you should fold usually, just don't be as eager to get AI. you should always be willing to fold your set in the face of an obviously better hand.

how many hands have you played? it really doesn't matter if you raise pf or not especially at lower stakes bc the donk next to you is going to stack off with his AA regardless. if you have a set and someone else has an overpair or 2 pair you are going stack them. when you stack someone with a set at 25NL-100NL after raising your pp preflop, you most likely didn't stack them bc you "disguised" your hand. you most likely stacked them bc they had a pretty good 2nd best hand and couldn't get away from it.
