Even that is too general. If you have top set on a flop like that, worst case scenario you have about the same chance of winning / having the board pair as a flush draw does of hitting. Considering that you have TPTK, two pair hands, lower sets, and even pair plus strong draw (flush draw or open ended draw) hands in horrible shape, it can be a profitable play. But again, it depends on your opponent, and their read on you.
of course, as everyone says, "it depends".
