Did what trick? Are you trying to get people to fold? With a set, you need to milk all the money you can. With a set, I generally bet about 70-90% of the pot on each street. It's good to keep villian in the hand with worse cards. Bet more if you know the guy can't fold or if there's a flush draw on board. If you're in position, sometimes it's good to let villian bet and just call a couple streets or check-raise.
My main concern is suckouts. It seems when I do not make the bet large enough I leave the hand open and draws chase. 2 or 3 times in the last two days that happened and I lost the pot to straights and once I lost it to a river draw after slow playing it.
I learned my lesson on that one, won't be slow playing again. The magic number is one that let's the top pair, or two pair hands still think they have a shot, but forces the draws out. Lately, 67-100% (the ranges I have experimented with) of the pot does not seem to be high enough.
