Anything less than 2/3 on the flop is asking for trouble. I think most players generally perceive a 1/2 pot bet as weak and you're therefore just asking draws to come along for the ride. Yes, you want them to call but only when it is a mistake for them to do so. TPTK is a vulnerable hand, which means you need to isolate and play it fast. While a set may be able to "hide" behind a PSB, if you're being check/called or smoothcalled then caution on the turn is a given. Then making a weaker 1/2 pot bet is appropriate, as it will likely stimulate a raise from a set with only 1 more street to go.
i'm fine with 1/2 pot bets because my opponents usually don't have implied odds against me if their draw completes. with almost any draw it is incorrect to call 1/2 the pot if you don't consider implied odds.
