Upon further reflection, I think I agree with DMK in concept here, although I'm still working on putting it in my game. You ARE in fact going to have no problem getting paid off beyond the implied odds needed the one time in 8 you hit your set.

If you hit your set, you bet something on the flop that allows you to either be called for value on a 953 rainbow-type rag flop, or you push and get called on a AQ9 flop two suited (but may still lose 20% of the time).

If your style allows you to be comfortable starting 7 tournaments with 1350 instead of 1500 and on the eighth either doubling or tripling up or occasionally busting out, then a call is appropriate. If you prefer to have the opportunity to isolate and extract, wait for a better spot.
