    old saying goes, if you don't go broke with a set, you played it wrong.

    there are obvious situations to lay it down, but here i think you need to go with it
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    Yeah you should definately go broke here. There are so few holdings he could have that currently beat you, but many more possible straight/flush draws that could if you don't push the turn. AA/KK/QQ/JJ all play the same from the flop onward, just unlucky he hit his set on the turn.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
