Re: Textbook wait for turn in huge pot?
Great question. Good analysis of the math. BUT, no mention of the psychology! Since everyone expects folks to wait until the Turn before betting a set, coming hard on the Flop represents a weaker hand - like Top Pair or Two Pair. Your opponents are much more likely to stay with you to the showdown. By taking a smaller amount on the Flop, ya get more in the long run. This play is similar to a semi-bluff.
