Re: PP 99 What would be the best play

Could you tell me how you have counted the implied odds for this situation?

Using a "dry" odds calculation of calling based on hitting a set (7.5-1 against) you're getting an immediate 6-1 on your call when it comes back to you. It's almost assured that you'll make up at least 1.5 bets postflop; there are additional reasons on why you shouldn't fold here.
1) Because of the increasingly attractive pot odds, it's very probable that the other callers are not folding behind you.
2) Consider also that since the pot will be large on the flop, it gives the other players, even if they are on the tighter side, great incentive to stay longer in the hand. So if you hit your set, you will be getting a good postflop overlay from the bets going in from the other players.
