yea this is a call or fold, dont raise here, too many opponents most likely to bet out postflop if u dont catch,

usually for set value u want 4-1 on ur money or so so if you are good postflop i'd play and if not i'd let go of it here

raising is very poor imho...your hand sucks blindsare coming along almost everytime you gonna 2 barrel very often and you never know where youre at in the Hand and the fish can easyly limp with higher pps > just see no merits in raising...its only going to get you in tough decisions and therefore in spots to make annoying mistakes...really raising shouldnt even being considered until you have amazing hand reading skills your opponent is unlikely 2 limp with a higher pp he is very predictable postflop and the blinds are both going to fold imho

this thread makes no sense to me

how can u fold

ur paying maybe 1.2sb preflop to play a 4 handed pot with a pair on the button. given that u will win unimproved plenty, if one guy check calls u down every single time u flop a set u have way more than enough implied odds to play

raising is pretty spewtastic here imo. i just call and try to take down a small pot or hope to get lucky and flop a set in a pot where people are interested.

Is the fact that it's 2:3 blind structure and thus making it extremely likely the sb will come in a good thing or a bad thing? I can imagine it both ways but I don't know which one makes more sense. Multiway is good, but the sb is also probably the best player at the table from what I've seen.

I call or raise depending on the players from the blinds and the kind of the fish.

It's all about the blinds. I would raise if I thought I could get it HU >75% maybe, but I am spewtastic. But given how I run SH I would call here given your reads. And for the record, I don't think folding is bad either.
