I'm not familiar with the 1:10 set holding up number, but wouldn't that have to already include the probability of someone (or multiple people) having overpairs and hitting higher sets?

Yes, but the probability someone holds an overpair to the 9's is greater in this hand since it's already capped when it gets to hero. The same 1:10 is used if there's only one raise in front of hero, but in that case the probability for that a higher PP than 9's is out there is much lower.

OTH a set can lose in differant ways than to another set, but this indication that strong hands are out there might make us adjust to 1:11. When there's only a raise you might adjust to 1:9.5.

As all of you understand 1:10 is not a very precise number since it varies with the number of opponents, their starting hands standards etc, but it's a much better estimation than assuming you win all the time.
