Default Re: NL25 - easy fold??

I called the pre flop raise for set value

Would it be weak-tight to fold pre-flop after the BB reraise and button fold? You aren't getting much in the way of "set value" since villain's only got about $18 left relative to a $13 pot. Also although you can't rely too much on his stats, villain appears to be a tight raiser relative to his general looseness. Can you put him on a broader range than AK, AA-QQ after a raise and a reraise in front of him? If not your pot equity is poor and not made up for by implied odds if you hit your set. In fact the odds are so poor that his range would have to be really wide to make this worthwhile, in which case a preflop push might be better (if you think his range is so wide).

Once you've decided to call, what was your commitment plan on the flop? You've got a pretty decent flop and ended up folding to a small continuation bet.

You haven't given any of the buttons stats, but would the hand have played any easier if you had just called the button preflop raise?
