3 players saw the flop for $1 plus the BB called one bet plus the small blind that is 12+2+.5=14.5 bets. So after the first guy bets, pot is laying me 15.5:1 to call.

yes, I see where I went wrong. I went downt the list and counted the monetary value of each individual bet separately, when like you just pointed out, I should have counted the sum bet of each individual.

You should have folded this pre-flop when it came back 2 to you. With only 2 people in the hand you aren't getting the odds you need to hit your set.

Getting 12:2 against possibly two over pairs? If he flops a set here he will be rolling in the quarters.

Isn't he only 8:1 to hit his set?

A little better than that to hit your set but a little worse to win with it but think of the pile of money you could possibly make against a couple of over pairs or an over pair and a possible lag here if you hit your set. Your implied odds to hit a set here are huge.

I folded there and don't mind it one bit. I really did not want to get one bet to death.

Also, i was 14:1 on the flop so i'm pretty sure I had odds for my backdoor straight draw but it was marginal and I really did not feel like being trapped between two agressive players. The chance of one of them having an over pair was too high imo.

ckj,

If you folded where you stopped the action this is bad. You call the first time getting 15:1 not closing the action and then fold when the pot is offering you 19:1 and you are closing the action?
