The key factor in this situation is the opponent's stack size which means you can never against any type opponent make any more when you improve on the river to make up for the times when you were in fact beat on the flop by a straight.

i just can't help thinking i am losing money if i fold KKK on the flop everytime there is three broadway just because someone bets from EP with a normal stack. especially if there are more opponents behind me who could call and give me odds to beat a flopped straight

It is OK to bet your set, especially when it is short-handed, but to call or raise is just terrible. The main exception is when you have set+flush draw, then raise it up as you are nearly a 60% favorite.

In your last post, you still are only looking at your hand without relation to the stack sizes and implied odds or lack of same when you improve. You really need to think about this point and make sure you get it if you want to do well long term in any big bet game.
