Is it normally justifiable to lose one's stack with AA to a set if playing with 50bb's? After a PFR and a PSB on the flop, the pot size on the turn is getting pretty close to your remaining stack. Is it okay to just shove the rest in there and pay off a set pretty much every time?

Yah the board would have to be going crazy or I'd have to have a specific read to lay down aces for only 50bb.

If the board is dry you can try to induce some bluffs to take the sting out of the times you get busted by a set. OOP that means c/r (c/c in this case) the turn or IP checking back the turn in either case representing the missed cbet. You lose the same amount to a set but get additional value from weaker holdings than if you just open shove the turn.
