Once again, what is it about risking 1/22 of your stack with the possibility of nearly doubling it that is such an egrerious error?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your hand is not always going to hold up, and sometimes you will run into set-over-set on the flop (the idea that anyone would be able to sniff out set-over-set 100% of the time with no false positives is garbage).

Right. And even taking this fact into account it's still +EV. Haven't we been over this? Are you advocating NEVER playing any hands for set value because there's always a possibility of set-over-set? Or only not to do it when it represents the huge chunk of your stack that is 4%?
