middle set oop against two villains

trigs

i'd like to know how people play this flop. is coming in for a check/raise better than leading out on the flop? what should the bet sizing be for a check/raise and why?

A C/R here looks really really strong, especially against 2 opponents.. As played I think I just call and lead the turn assuming no heart. I sometimes like to lead out the flop here though hopefully to make an over pair think I have a 10 and am testing. Going to be hard to get it all in here unless another 10 comes and one of them has a 10.

GTA Poker

i lead flop 90% of the time with a set if deep...you want to build a big pot. As played I would c/r which would usually look like a heart draw.

thanks for the comments. i really couldn't decide on a proper flop play, but perhaps i can play this one a couple different ways.

GTA is right, as played the c/r would look a lot like a flush draw, which is good, but I think into 3 players betting out is better.

TBH I don't really like comp's check call option. (Although he generally takes my money, so what do I know!)
