Op have a point, but there is a BIG thing he overlooked.
NEVER go allin with top set on the flop. Opponent might be drawing to a straight, better set or quads.

I thought i was good with a top set, but villian has called, because he knew he would get quads. I mean, what idiot would go allin without at least top set?
If i'd only call the flop i could save lots of money, as river woud clearly show that i don't have the best hand.
Unless you flop quads it's better to play it safe.
