You are giving away a lot of equity and fold equity if you play like a set-hunter.

Implied odds are BIGGER in a raised/reraised pot- if stacks are large enough. This is because someone is more likely to put more money into the pot post flop. In a limped pot you can not expect to stack someone easily.
Getting a set is a bonus, not something you try to get.
a) This is mainly a guide for fullring no-limit holdem. This guide os for playing PP's for set value as stated, nothing else. I did not state the pros or cons of any other strategy. Whether this be playign them as bluffs post flop or otherwise.
b) Implied odds cannot be 'bigger', you're either getting the right implied odds to stack him, or not. 7.5-1, if you aint got at least 7.5-1 your making a mistake, end of. It's tied in with the 'RANGE' section, obviously in a 3bet pot their range is smaller and weigthed more to their 'stack off range'.
c) this is a guide in the beginners forum, its not a be all end all guide. Most the posters here are playing small/micro stakes holdem, a place where people aren't really going to be exploiting set mining with small PP's. I took time to write this thread, please do not shit on it, without bringing up some valid and relevant points. kthnx
