Im obviously calling here 2 win a big pot, but being oop is it even worth it on the amount of times u flop a set and he stacks off???

So deep, yes.

He reraised out of the small blind so you have position on him, it increases the chance of him having a big pair that you can stack and you're 150BB deep effective.

I'm calling this for set value all day.

yeh sorry i meant in position, thought it was an easy question but just checking over my game, cheers

Typically I wouldn't call this. I don't think you're getting the implied odds to call such a competently sized reraise.

In this hand stacks are deepish though, so it's a lot closer. Read/stats based I would say.

Of course i call the SB's 3-bet, but being UTG, i wouldnt open raise. You can still win a big pot if you flop a set against a deep-stacked raiser from the SB

Not open raising this UTG is a leak.

Perhaps, but you can also win a pot without flopping a set if you raise. It baffles me sometimes how effective UTG raises are.

this deep, easy call.

100bbs stacks, not really.

[Xanta]

150BB isn't really deep, but it's enough to justify a call of a raise of this size. Don't forget that you are going to have to win the pot without a set sometimes, which means occasionally floating or picking up orphan pots.
