If I get called, I'm only a dog to a set, but I'd rather win this uncontested.

I've got news for you: you're also a dog to a pair.

To that specific pair, yes. But not to all pairs. I suppose AK is a reasonable hand to expect, though, but why would AK bet 10% of the pot with TPTK here?
I'm a
slight dog to AK, but with the dead money in the pot and only $15 remaining in my stack, is there any way where I'm not going all-in? I'm 50/50 against AK/QQ/JJ.
So how about semantics -- I'm only a huge dog to a set.
I'm trying to understand why I'd want to see the turn here, if I can avoid it. Is the 10% pot bet something I should be more aware of at this level, or does it usually suggest weakness, like it seemed to here?
