The only questionable part of your line to me is the PF 2nd call. The pot odds are basically unimportant, this is a pure implied odds play. I dont love risking >10% of my stack to flop a set. I can see myself calling here quite alot, but it never feels right afterwards.

that's not true at all. if there were not already a lot of money in the pot, i'd fold to a 10bb raise pretty quickly. it's only because there's the extra money that makes it a call. the implied odds are important, but the immediate odds are also.

What I meant by this was...
The only way we are going to be seeing a turn card here 90% of the time is when we are all in (or are working our way there). It is unlikely, given that we are pretty sure we are up against AA or KK, that we are winning anything other than a HUGE pot when we win. So, relatively speaking the implied odds (84-168BBs) are much more important than the immediate odds.
Basically the play of the hand has ruled out winning a medium pot, we are either winning HUGE or losing it all.
