Re: Anyone mind this slowplay?
This is a VERY common mis-application of the "waiting until the turn to raise" concept. A lot of players believe that since there is no way to protect their hand that they should wait for the turn. The fact is that with a set, you don't NEED to protect your hand on the flop. Your equity is high enough that you're making an IMMEDIATE profit on every bet that goes into the pot.
Re-read this section in SSH and you'll see that NOWHERE does it advocate waiting until the turn with a hand as strong as a set.
