Sorry to disagree with you, but I don't understand this. You have a calling station on this table who chases all his draws and you want to get him off the hook when you hit a set? What free money are you talking about? You're AHEAD in this hand, it's very unlikely someone calls a $17 raise with J9, and if someone has a bigger set you'll lose your stack anyway because you can't fold this flop. But you should definitely try to get value for this hand with a calling station in the pot, not shove to force a fold. Bet enough to make draws call incorrectly. That's how you make money in cash games, when your opponents make mistakes. Walking away from this hand with the $52 in the pot right now is not good, its not "free money" by any means. Even if board is dangerous you still need to induce mistakes, but if you shove and they fold you ended up making the biggest one.
 
I know people many times suckout in these situations but you can't play it scared every single time because it'll lose you money in the long term. When you hit a strong hand your goal is to find a way to get paid off, and in this case remember you can still make a hand that is stronger than any draw out there, actually that will happen 1 every 3 times in this scenario.
