I think it's very close. The implied odds + the dead money in the pot make this borderline. Also, I'm not too concerned with the $59 stack. Since he wasn't a pre-flop aggressor, I think that the only way you're really going to end up playing a big pot against him is if you make a set but are still behind.

I've definitely started to give this consideration with my implied odds calls. Chances are, the caller of the preflop raise is also trying to make a hand and stack off the villain. You're only going to get a lot of money out of him if he hits his hand (or a draw), in which case you might be the one getting stacked. Of course, if the calling villain is a known idiot, the call is easy enough, because you might stack him if he catches TP or some trash against your set.
As far as the original post goes, I agree that its close, but i'll call with the additional deeperstacked players in the pot. (I don't like being OOP though).
