What do you do if there are no limpers yet, you always raise? Even with 22 in MP ?

Why do you need so much? 20x the bet?
Say its 50 NL and there is a raise of 4 times the BB from early position, and you are in late position with pocket sixes. The raiser has 30 bucks behind, and you have a full stack of 50 bucks. You hit the set once in 7.5 and of course not everytime you hit the set will you stack the guy, but he did raise in early position so you could assume he has a strong hand. So you can assume you get action most of the times you hit the set. What am I missing here...?
