TT on T♦ 6♣ 2♠ facing a bet — fold, call or raise?
The answer
Call
flat and trap
Solvers also mix: Raise
The math: Top set on a dry board — essentially the nuts. The solver is nearly split between flatting to trap and raising to build the pot (it leans call, raise close behind); both print money.
Why
You've flopped top set, so far ahead that the only question is how to get the money in. The solver is nearly indifferent — it leans toward flatting, with raising close behind: calling keeps the button's whole range in to keep barreling (their bluffs and worse pairs can't fold when you look weak), while raising starts building the pot now against the overpairs that continue. On a dry T-6-2 there are no draws to protect against, so slow-playing costs almost nothing. Both lines are correct; the only mistake is folding. Choose trap or raise by feel and villain tendency.

Why not: Folding top set would be a disaster — it's essentially the nuts on a dry board, ahead of every overpair, worse set and bluff the button c-bets. The only mistake here is folding.

The idea behind it
A set on a dry board is a spot where trapping and fast-playing are both fine: there's little to protect against, so you choose by how much action the opponent will give. Folding is the only error.
