Re: Playing medium pocket pairs
Raise. Always Raise. You isolate if you can get some of the limpers to fold. You also build a pot. Then on the flop you can take it from there. If you've gotten down to yourself and one other person (or even two) you can often take it down with a c-bet.
Otherwise, when you hit your set, there's a pot built up and anyone who plays with you will quickly find all their chips in the pot to stay in the hand. (Which is exactly what you want, right?)
