IMO, it would have been an easy call if you had a bigger stack in front of you....you would have been getting great implied odds....but not really worth calling the reraise with such a small stack.

EDIT: Didnt see you were in the BB...you are outta position. But your really looking for a set and dropping it anyways.

Don't let your stack get down to half the buyin.

Calling here sucks because UTG+2 can still reraise.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

easy call with 100bb stack cause implied odds are huge.

but cause you only got a 50bb stack and there is a raise/reraise its probably an appropriate fold.

Normally I would have called I think, but I had just taken a really bad beat against a 10-3 off suit and got beat for like 30 dollars. I always try to play tighter to avoid tilting.

If you want to make most of your sets, keep your stack at max. In this case this woulda been a borderline call but I think I would have made it. You have to think that you will get at least $25 net profit if you call that PFR if you consider calling.
