might i add, the preflop raise (rather hefty) then check on the flop often screams slowplay. it's already been said, but a flop bet is important to disguise your intentions and hinder reads.

in this particular case it worked out beautifully, but in general you can't expect a lower PP to hit a set - and if someone were to spike two pair on the turn, for instance, they might still be wary of a big hand because of the flop check.

just some incoherent thoughts before i go to sleep...
