Call raises as long as they are less than 5% of the smallest stack between you and the raiser, consider calling them if they are between 5-10%, don't call if they are over 10%. Hit your set, get the money in, don't hit your set, fold. Actually they are the easiest to play. If its been limped to you i'd limp with them...if it's folded to you in late position i'll raise with them.

great info. This thread has gone slightly off-topic but just one more question.

lets say I get 77-55 in EP/MP on a pretty pf-passive table. What should I do if I'm first in?

In my experience it is harder to get paid off if I hit a set in an unraised pot, so it doesn't seem that the implied odds are there for limping.

Of course I could raise first in, but for me that usually means trouble. OOP, overcards, callingstations etc etc.

Any hints on how / when to move on from set-farming?
