Chances are if you hit your set on flop you are going to have best hand and if it looks like it is dangerous waters after you hit your set, such as, suited and or all connected flop then you better either pushem out of pot or hope you dont get split. Me, especially on dangerous flop like that I am going all in, if my opponent wants to risk his stack on the come , so be it, im committed! I know it is nice to know the odds,but it is nicer to know your cards and who you are up against. Then you throw in your math and I wish upon a star my 2&2 trips! LOL!
you can't bypass odds. if you are in a 100NL game and have a $100 stack and villain has a $20 stack you should not be calling a $5 pfr from them with your 22. no one's arguing the luck factor of hitting a set on the flop. on average it happens 1/8 times, and of course it's all about getting paid...what else would it be about? also, this isn't a discussion about correct post-flop play with your set. say what you will but you can't discard the mathematical side of poker and hope to be a winning player in the longrun.
