I am interested in knowing how I should approach a very wet Board specifically 3 cards of the same suit on the flop when I have flopped a reasonable hand (TPTK, Set or Straight) but don't hold any card that matches the flopped cards suit and I am in early position and have 3 players left to act behind.

so lets say I hold:

AA and the flop comes 83k

or I hold

7J and the flop comes 8910

and finally if I hold

33 and the flop comes 39Q


Should I bet? If so how much? Checking seems kind of a weak play but I don't want to trap myself. Should I try to get to showdown as cheaply as possible and abandon the hand if a 4th suited card comes on the turn and I get bet into?

Obviously the decisions we make will depend on the value of the 3 suited cards that come on the flop but is there a general way to approach this scenario or some specific things I should generally look for before making my decision?

Flushes are hard to make.
Most of the time you should bet. Depends on opponent, positions, etc ofc.
But all 3 hands are pretty strong on each board. Opponents can call with 1 pair hands at least one street and their calling range is ofc widened if they hold one spade to boot.
