KK makes set and gets donked...

In this particular case, though, with the two diamonds on the board, I'd probably raise to protect my hand here.

A raise won't protect your hand. There are 8 SB in the pot to start, 11 SB after the bet and the raise, and probably 12 SB unless you think MP1 will fold (unlikely). It's only 2SB to call, so that's 6:1 on a 4:1 play. You'd love a flush draw to fold because it's correct for him to call, but I don't think one will.

Raising is still good though, because you have huge equity on all bets that are going in on the flop.

Wouldn't his 3-bet make it 13:3, still odds to call but just barely and if you make a rounding error.

Well, if you knew that MP1 would 3-bet, then it's 14:3 (unless you think hero would fold to a 3-bet after raising), which makes it a call.

If you knew that MP1 would 3-bet and hero would cap, it's 16:4 (unless you think MP1 would fold to the cap), which still makes it a call (slightly wrong but implied odds make up for it).
