You wanted action and you got it. Getting drawn out on is the risk you run when you invite action. It's not necessarily the wrong play, but it's a higher variance play. How many were left until you made the seat? If you were close, you should definitely be taking the lower variance play.

Villain still made a mistake by calling you, since even if he got away after the flop everytime he didn't make a set and you payed him off every time he did, the call would still be -EV for him.
