my guess about raising all in on the flop when you hit a set is that doyle talk a lot about deception in this book. this is his basic reason for playing suited connectors and low pairs, and the same type of logic applies here. if you hit a set, you have a very strong hand. if you bet it very agrresively, then your opponent will probably read you as trying to eiter buy the pot, or to protect a moderately weak hand. you can get opponents to call big bets with minimal holdings by this type of play.
as for not check raising, i dont think it fits very well with doyles super agressive style. to check raise he would have to limp in, which should set off the alarms when he was playing. if he was going to play a hand, he was going to raise it. by check raising, he might miss a chance to get more money in the pot, because his opponent is more likely to check/call behind him.
i havent read supersystem in a while, o i could be off in my thinking here, but this seems to fit into doyles style.
