Are the impied odds here?

It's the begining of a large MTT. Blinds 10/20. I have 1800 in the BB. UTG min raises. MP re-raises to 120. Button cold-calls. I have 33, is this s a good place to look for a set?

It costs me 100 more, if I hit I should have no problem getting 1500, so I think the odds are there, but I know I have to be beat right now. I'm also worried about the minraise by the UTG. I moved to the table a few hands ago, and I don't know if his min raise was looking for a re-raise or not.

Do good tourny players look for a better spot, or is this a prime money making spot?

call, you're likely busting at least one of them if you hit.

What about when UTG raises again?
You are not closing the PF action.

with that many chips I think its worth the risk of having to fold to a big reraise, but thats just me.

If I haven't seen UTG limp-reraise, I call too, with no problem folding to a UTG raise, you have a lot of chips and the implied odds are large with 4 in the pot.

Really, even if I had seen UTG limp-reraise I still might get involved as the cost is small compared to the stack.

Thanks for the imput. When UTG just called the raise I felt I made a mistake. When another 3 fell on the flop I was sure of it. When all three other players went all-in w/ pocket pairs (99,JJ, and AA), I bashed my head on the desk. I wanted to get a results-free opinion though. Live and learn.
