Set over set

44 is a better hand than 33 which is a better hand than 22. Large hand databases have validated this...

I figured somebody would bring these factors up. It's true in general, but specifically in this case, they carry less weight:
Set over set - it's very unlikely somebody is raising over 4BBwith less than TT preflop.
Straight - If you miss trips, you don't want to chase a straight anyway unless somehow they don't bet the flop.
Unimproved - Are you calling bets when you miss trips hoping the raiser has a lower pair?
44 better than 33, etc. - In general this is true and those DBs are detailing all hands played with those hands - but in this case it's trips or fold.
The crux of the discussion is, can you extract enough money when you hit to make up for the times you miss. I think it's very possible at 25NL.
Answer me this: What hands do you call/reraise in this situation besides QQ+?
