One more example:

SB: 71.04 BB
Hero (BB): 103.4 BB
UTG: 151.4 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
MP: 91.52 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 6♣ 6♥

UTG raises to 3 BB, MP raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, SB calls 8.6 BB, fold, fold

Hey G,

Small pairs are too often dead money to purely setmine. If your pair is big enough to not always fold to any cbet then calling is an option but that's an exception, not how you should generally play pairs vs 3bets.

If you are sure you get more people in the pot and you flop the nuts often (don't get it in vs overset or better too often) you can be more inclined to setmine but when you are the one giving the played behind better odds it means he calls wider, therefore less implied odds vs a wide range plus he STILL has the options to fold or 4bet, he doesn't only have the call button.
