Pocket Pairs in a Limit Game...to cap or not to cap?

Had a guy at $0.50/$1 today tear me a new one when I reraised with 10 10 vs his KK and another players J J. My 10 hit the flop and they gladly capped it every round to the end.

So here is my question. I prefer to cap it pre-flop and then get away if I don't hit my set if the table is full of aggressive players (which this table was). If I miss, I'm out the $2. If I hit, then I know I'm going to get paid out, usually a lot.

What's your thoughts? Hitting trips on the flop is about 7.5 to 1. I'm going to pay out $15 (7.5 times 2) to win a minimum of $6 (worst case, and obvoiusly -EV). Most of my cases have been up against 1-3 players that cap it to the end (1 pays out $12, 3 pays out $36, so an average of $24, now a +EV play)

Anyone have other thoughts?

Here's the HH:
