Re: Again with cold calling small pairs
I don't think you play his hand profitably in the situation unless you have a specific read that one or both opponents regularly get out of line postflop. For one, you are still open to a 3-bet from the blinds, so your odds are not as good as they appear to be. Sets don't win 100% of the time, so you need to be able to extract a little more postflop.
I think it's close, but I don't think 44 is profitable unless you are against opponents who get out of line postflop. I have tried playing in similar situations and have done scratch calculations trying to see how to turn a profit, but haven't been able to figure it out.
Good luck in your search.
Your postflop play looks real good to me.
