Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$1/$2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3:d, 3:s.
MP2 folds, MP3 raises, CO 3-Bets, BU calls, SB folds, Hero???

Sorry for the basic question but I've been folding in pots where it's 3 bet with callers but I'm not getting 7.5:1 pot odds.

I know this is a call v one raiser and one caller - but is it a call here getting 5.75:1 pot odds given likely MP3 call?

Plus, this is 5.75:1 pot odds isn't it? I'm still not 100% whether we count our own bet if we assume MP3 calls in determining pot odds.

"...and then I was like "?", and they were like "..." and then it all came down to the cheese making method. Needless to say

odds are 9.5:2, or around 4.5:1. This is enough for a call. Even if there is a cap, odds will be 12:3, so it's ok. More generally, you need 3:1, so with 3 opponents, go for IT !

Hi Waiboy,

OlivierLu is correct. Your hand has a high potential if you hit your set. Much action preflop indicated strong hands so you often will get payed out too. With BU coldcalling this is a very easy call. Without him it's abit more difficult and I only call if Co or BU are bad.

In worst case you get 4:1 so you need 7,5 SB implieds odds as you hit your set once every 11,5 times.
7,5 SB over 3 streets against 3 opponents are almost sure.
