    Villian rec player 57/8/ 5% limp raise/ RFI UTG 0%/RFI MP 0% / 173 HANDS
    Its obv that his limp/raise range is very strong made of AQs+/AK and probably JJ+ . What do you think about my call preflop to his re-raise? Is this a -EV call giving his stats and stack size? I think postflop we dont have to discuss the hand ....

    It depends quite a lot on how bad btn and bb are

    you're hoping for the two behind to cold call, to flop a set and to stack at least one of the players behind because you don't have right odds with the initial raiser short.

    set-mining with pocket 66 vs. 3-bet and two players left behind is +EV here? I don't think so. You only on average every 8 time your set.

    I think it's an easy fold. Pleas correct me if I am wrong, but please give me reasona why I am thinking wrong.

    I agree. Not really sure why people are saying otherwise.

    It's pretty easy call.

    MP likely has QQ+ cause LRR is always nuts.

    Others behind probably call too. If you hit a set on flop you are guaranteed atleast 1 stack.

    Edit: didn't see MP is short. It's probably closer but if you think BTN and/or BB are calling then you should call obv.

    Isn´t there a rule of thumb estimate that you can only profitable setmine when there is 20-times the amount of raise behind in the stack.

    For example. 3-Bet to 12BB there should be left 240bb in the raisers stack to make it profitable?

    A more detailed thought on this would be nice. I think against a short player with 70BB who LRR with a range stronger than JJ+ we are 4:1 underdog or am I on the wrong wy to evaluate this situation?

    If button and bb are often to call that sqz, than its a good play.

    Though i wouldn`t flat with any pocket pair lower.

    I believe that in Blackrains book about crushing the micros, you generally want your opponent to have at least 15x the raise. So calling a .80 raise he would have to have 12$for it to be profitable long term to set mine.

    You aren't taking into consideration implied odds of players behind and the fact that we will always be getting atleast 1 stack if we hit a set.

    This x a million. We're getting about 3 to 1 on a call, but given that MP lolimadonklimpraised, he probably has a big hand and that big hand will almost certainly pay us off. And when we call, there is a good chance BTN and/or BB will come along as well, further increasing our odds.

    This is just a guideline. There are no hard fast rules. Besides, you can adjust odds and stuff for certain players. For instance, this guy is a massive fish and will probably pay off when we hit. We therefore need less than the 15x for it to be profitable. Against a nit who probably won't stack off without a set, we probably need way more than 15x for it to be profitable.

    I agree with that but even so wouldnt calling a 8bb to win his 60bb behind a little speculative long term to set mine this even if hes garunteed to pay us off?

    Again. We aren't last to act. There are guys behind who will probably call. This is a major reason to call.

    So finally we can say it depends a lot on table structure. If there are two nits in the blinds folding almost always to a LRR or a LAG reg who is aware of mp LRR and expected it to shove over because of slow-playing a monster, than its an easy fold.

    A fishy game with two calling-stations in the blinds gives us enough implied odds to call. Obviously one villain will pay us off because they are only playing cards without thinking.

    I find this process of evaluating this situation with small pockets very interesting. Such a thing is very helpful.
    Thanks a lot guys.
