Re: Any way to avoid busting out in this situation?
My thoughts are that I usually ignore the possiblity that someone hit a better set than me, and I do not mind going broke on that attitude... this is one risk you have to take to be successfull. Just like, you can't throw away KK preflop because you are afraid of AA. I think the odds dictate that most of the time you will be good, so you should go with what works most of the time.
Secondly, by being more selective about the pp's that you choose to see the flop with... you decrease the chance that if you and another guy both hit sets that yours will be lower. I have to say limping 44 under the gun sounds kind of wreckless to me. But seeing that you did and hit your set... I would have gone broke on the flop protecting them against the 10-J draw.
Flop a set... with any kind of draws out there... my foot is on the gas.
