For me, it is. But part of that might be the whole thing with me playing short stack (so I get my pushes called more often).

You have to remember too, that you're ahead in a hand that they don't hit, so you don't necessarily lose every time you don't get your set.

If they have a higher pocket pair, chances are that they will call/push you all-in when you hit. If they don't, then you don't necessarily have to hit to win.
