Ok, im calling the preflop mainly on basis of pot odds, and if I hit a set I'm getting paid off big.

The one thing which confused me was the limp re-raise from the villian. I couldn't put him on that big of a hand (10 10+). Why would you limp after 2 limpers in the CO with that strong of a hand.

I led out because I think he's folding there, a lot of hands, AK AQ AJ A10. maybe 99 88 66???

What are your thoughts guys??

anyone??

First call pre-flop is marginal as you have four to act behind and you'd need to be confident there is gonna be no limp re-reasing which I'm seeing often lately. I think CO re-raising range here is tighter than you've suggested. You played for set value and you missed I think you check/fold this flop. I'd question whether set value was there either as we want to get $30 (going for 12 times our 2.5) out of this pot when we hit. Two runners with with $17 behind each and we are looking for $20 to add to the $10 there already might be a stretch.

I would guess he has something like 88 due to his stats that says he limps them. But he changed his mind when it got raised so he raised also.

[tweak]

yeah I was thinking 88/99 from the OP and the villains stats.

I would check fold the flop after not hitting set in this case
