Bet the flop. That check is so bad I don't know where to start.

I usually would bet this but I thought as so many people were in the pot someone was bound to bet letting me check raise. I dont see how this can be a massive mistake. I wanted to try and make sure the draws had to call more than one bet to see the turn.

True, it may not be as big of a mistake as I'm making out to be. I'm still not sure a check is +EV here. The times that it checks through or gets bet by the button and we blow everyone else out outweigh (at least in my mind) the times we bet and get called or bet and get to 3-bet.

I would bet it, I am just saying the check isn't "terrible" as you put it. There are reasons to vary your play and on this board with a set I think checking isn't as bad as you fear it could be.
