Re: 10NL: small pocket pairs preflop after a raise/reraise
1. Too marginal of a sitation w/ 66, you are calling for set value and with only 80bb you arnt deep enough OOP IMO. You gotta consider that you might not even get paid if you hit your set.
2. Smooth call. IMO, you need 10 to 1 implied odds for set value. If you know your opponent well though, and think that he wont pay you off on a set, then it wouldnt be a profitable call. On the other hand, if you can put your opponent on a range of hands, and you feel the flop doesnt hit him, you can take a stab on the flop to take it down since you are in position.
Set value is tricky, it all comes down to whether you have position, and whether you think your opponent will give u 10 to 1 implied odds on your initial preflop call to pay u off when u do hit your set.
You should consider your opponents range though and see if you can stab at the pot even OOP if you feel the flop didnt hit his hand.
