Unless the raiser had AA/KK and comes over the top (kinda bad) its easy to take the pot on the flop since more often than not his AK/AQ etc will miss and essential I am repping a high PP with the re-raise preflop.
I do that like 1 out of 10 times when facing a raise with a med-low PP and only if the requirements are met (position/reads/stacks).

Usually thought its set of fold and I want as many players seeing the flop as possible.

I prefer multiway pots with smaller PP.

I usually fold because even though there is a great potential to flop a set, I have to think that that person who raises is sitting on atleast 9's or better. I obviously would play if theres no preflop raises, but if someone raises a couple dollars preflop (we only start out with $15) then 6's don't look too good all of a sudden

its 11.76% chance to hit on flop
15.51% chance to hit by turn
19.18% chance to hit by river

My only comment on all of this is that I find it real hard to get paid when I hit. I would say its 1 in 3 times I hit I can get paid decently because no body else hit their cards and won't bet back at me when I bet. So for me, seeing even a %5 PRR is a liberal.

Even with a short stack I'd probably make the call there; with a full stack I'd do it all day long and twice on Sunday. 6x at that point is nothing.
