A too small bet may give him proper odds to continue with his hand.

what is wrong with this? the only drawing hand that can suck out on you is the straight, but let's suppose the straight possibility is not there. so many people believe you should not give someone the proper odds to call. You have hit a set, top set i might add. you want to get as much VALUE as you can.
[/ QUOTE ] This is completely wrong. If you give someone the proper odds to call you, then it is a +cEV move for them to call your bet. This is by definition. If it is +cEV for your opponent to call you, then it is -cEV for you when they do.

Correct. But when you are giving someone pot odds to catch something like TP when you have a set, you're fine. This guy's odds of hitting a straight are much smaller.
In reality, you should be trying to get him to call a bet he THINKS he has pot odds to call.
This is the case here. The most dangerous draw is a straight, which he has 8 outs to hit. So give him worse odds than that.
