I would not want to play this out of position, calling pfr and not having enough bettors in the hand to pay off the infrequent set. 22 hu/sh seems like a clear fold at this point regardless of odds.

Just about the only way we win is a third two and meanwhile virtually anything on the flop puts us behind (if we aren't already). And after watching a couple 2+2 party tables, we'll definitely have to showdown. Seems too speculative for the expense involved...

Ignoring odds is bad. What do you think I'll usually get at this sort of table when I flop a set?

I'm working to make a deficit of between 6-8SB's back, on the average, postflop.

That's another example of how you can win more money at an aggressive table versus a passive one. That's assuming bad players, of course.

Awesome job. And a good reminder to adjust your implied odds upward against bad, aggressive players.

Fold, don't cold call a raise here with pocket twos. Maybe if you were in late position and you figured it would NOT be raised and you anticipated at least 4 other players besides you to see the flop (like a few limpers, or few other people who cold called in front of you).

I would not want to play this out of position, calling pfr and not having enough bettors in the hand to pay off the infrequent set. 22 hu/sh seems like a clear fold at this point regardless of odds.

Just about the only way we win is a third two and meanwhile virtually anything on the flop puts us behind (if we aren't already). And after watching a couple 2+2 party tables, we'll definitely have to showdown. Seems too speculative for the expense involved...

I'm working to make a deficit of between 6-8SB's back, on the average, postflop.

Just curious as to where you got the 6-8SB number from. You're getting 3:1, but it's 8:1 to flop a set, so you'd need to make 8-3=5 small bets postflop. Is the extra 1-3SB's to compensate for the times UTG+1 limp-reraises or for the times everyone folds on the flop or turn?

It's to compensate for the times you hit your set and still lose.
