I wouldn't. I would only limp with 66. Maybe call small raise at a loose table, but that's about it.

i actually prefer to call raises if i know the guy is tight, you want him to have AA/KK

[PoBoy321]

I think that you can call this. It's $8 more for you to call after original raise, and you still have $94 left in your stack. Do it. Spike a set. Crack him.

[istewart]

The pot is $36, you have to call $8, you'll have $86 left in your stack. I think it's pretty easy.

What are the odds of hitting a set?

flopping EXACTLY trips by flopping a set for your pocket pair 10.775%
flopping EXACTLY a full house, a set to your hole pair and pairing the board 0.735%
flopping EXACTLY four of a kind, two cards to your hole pair 0.245%

You can add those up :P

ok good i called

the results were very unexpected (my opponents turned out to be donks)

the 3 of us checked it all the way down

flop: 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif3/images/graemlins/heart.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gif
turn: 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif
river: 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif

and if you can put these three on their hands with this info, you are a poker god, results in white:

<font color="white"> UTG had 54 of hearts
UTG+1 had JJ
CO had 88

yes. you're closing the action and with all the interest that's been shown you have good implied odds from multiple people.

[bkholdem]

I call every time. As someone else said your closing the action (you are not going to face another raise preflop).

Something else to pay attention to is that BOTH raisers (original and reraiser) have big stacks.

This is an implied odds situation, not a pot odds situation.

In addition to flopping a set, full house, or quads there is also the small added possibility of flopping an oesd/oesfd, but your really looking to flop a set and get a nice payday out of it. Look at this call as an opportunity. Bail if you don't hit the flop.
