Default Re: 55 from the BB in a 3 way pot.....and I decided to flat call

I need a read to donk into a LP pfr - I think it's better to C/R or call and float the turn. As the times villain makes a CB we make a bunch more monies. The posted read says button plays "fit or fold" so our flop donk will probaby fold Button most of the time - BUT we also note that SB is a station so I check this down and see the SD if I can. We have position here on a calling station so we want to VB VB VB - and we don't have enough of a hand to VB with I think.

We don't need to win "some pots" calling preflop with implied odds THIS good if we miss the set with our small pp. We hoping for the solid gold flop that is A5x and as it's 3 ways the most we could win postflop is $77.50 which is 77.5 x our preflop call. Even if it's the shorty we stack on that A5x flop we make $28ish (minus rake) which is ~26x our preflop call and even if the flop is 5xx we can still expect some action post from the calling station so will easily imo make this into a $13 pot (which is what we need to make playing JUST for set value +EV)

As played I call SB's turn minbet and reeval river hoping that he makes another minbet that I can call and see a cheap SD with - if he makes any kind of significant bet I fold unless I spike a set on teh river.
