Default What odds to try to spike a set? 1/2 Live game

1/2 Live game, $100 mix/max buyin, 10 handed
UTG raises to $7
Hero calls $7 with TT in MP1
2 Calls (MP3, CO)
Button raises to $28 total
Blinds fold
UTG Calls

Stack Sizes:
Button and UTG have $90
MP3 and CO have $120
Hero (MP1) has $390

I am 90% sure the button has AA or KK
I belive UTG to have big ace, Jacks, Queens
There is $7*5 + $21*2 = $77 in pot
I have to put in $21 more, I dont expect either player behind me to call, with the other two players in the hand having just $60 left, I expect to take one of their stacks if I hit my set, am I getting good odds to hit it?

So $77 in pot plus someones $60, gives $133 payoff on a $21 call if I hit, is it worth it? I really dont think so, its only 1:7ish, I normally like to get 1:10, what do you normally like to get?

If youre playing a PP for set value rule of thumb is you need to make 10x what youre putting in pf

this post doesnt belong on this forum either.

Discussions about medium stakes pot-limit and no-limit hold'em. (1-2 to 5-10)

Looks good to me.
