One important note is that you're generally hoping that someone has hit top pair, or better still 2 pair. That's more likely if more people see the flop, so you get paid off much better in a multi-way pot when you hit. If you hit your set, but nobody makes anything from the flop, then you'll win a small pot. It's probably better to just accept the small pot than to give someone a chance to make their straight, flush or better trips cheaply, because you'd then tend to lose a big pot.
You can slow-play them sometimes, but do so carefully. If the flop is a rainbow flop with widely separated cards, then you can perhaps slow-play it, but you want to be careful. Your ideal situation if you do slow-play would be if someone hits a flush or the like when the board pairs and makes you a full house, but what you don't want to do is go from winning a small pot to losing a big one, and it can generally be hard to fold trips - someone making a straight will generally win a big pot off you.
