When the flop was checked around to me I chose to take the free card. I probably should have bet figuring my pair was good. When I hit my set I wonder if a smaller bet would have induced a call. I chose to BTP to drive out any flush draws. Any ideas on how I might have milked this for more money? Lately I have been playing aggressively when I hit and think I am probably losing some money on hands like this.
