I'm really not sure of the call here, it's only another $3 into a large pot, but with two still to act is this a call or fold? Only read I have is that I'm almost certainly stacking BB if I hit - he's very aggresive.

Fold = please quit poker. Also this is a very frequent situation. Hit a set or fold. Or quads.

Obviously if there's wierd action back to you let it go but this is a really really easy call.

[Panthro]

Call...and play it for set value. Against a min-raise, it's unlikely that the button and SB are going anywhere.

Where do you play that 4-way re-raised pots are common place? first time I've seen this in over 6k hands at AP!

I posted one last night. I had AA blah blah blah. Did you play on PP before the law? I'm not saying that the EXACT spot is super common, but the position you're put in is very common and you just MUST call for a set. Just make sure to hit it on a 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif flop cause its not fun if you don't.

OK OK - it was the combination of BB being a short stack and having 2 people to act after me that made me wonder!

FWIW I called and hit - did I get the rest right /images/graemlins/smile.gif
