$200NL Flop set
 

I keep reading that calling maybe too passive, but when there isnt much risk and they are betting, I do not suppose anyone has a problem with them hanging themself?

On a secondary note as I am looking at higher stake play, is it worth raising the flop in most of these situations? Otherwise better players might get an understanding of when I have a monster and when making a bluff etc?

I like it, board is too dry for him to have any logical draw that you need to protect against. I might raise the turn smallish b/c his bet was pretty small and I don't want there to be any doubt about all about the money going in on the river.

i like this a lot, only possible thing is a turn raise instead but w/ such a dry board I'm not really worried about anything here.

I agree, turn looks like a great spot for a raise.

Calling this flop doesn't necessarily put you on a monster, you could be floating with an ace or a jack here if you felt your opponent missed the flop.

i might minraise turn, but still fine
