The guy has nit stats. I don't believe that I can call for set value. Is this a fold? Can I call not just for set value but also because 99 can make more hands than just a set? I believe that it will be hard to play post flop when oop and if others call and the pot gets big.

I had intended to study situations like these -- calling with midpairs in EP after a raise -- and my laptop died, with over 100k hands lost.

It feels uber-nitty but I would not be surprised if this is an unprofitable situation. A lot depends on how squeezy the table is behind you (if the shorties are gambling it up, it could be a fold) and how this guy plays OOP postflop.

I would fold, set odds aren't there and you still have 6 others behind you.

don't you think the likelihood of villain holding a monster here gives us set odds? i want to fold based on possible action behind us but I think it is close with a chance to get a huge stack against the chip leader.

I'm being a little results because I folded and the board was x99 and like 2 others called pre. I would def call with Ts in this spot. I think that 9s are a little close.

I'd call

if you end up HU you can play your hand really easy vs the nit and should win a decent amount of non set flops.

if lots of people call I'm sure you'll make money just on sets.

I agree with drmc on this one and why don't you have set odds?

Sprayed is just short of having 15x the raise amount and if he flats (generally a standard cutoff for set-mining) theres a chance one of the 6 people left will wake up with QQ+ AK and reraise. I don't think you could call 22-66, but 99 is probably ok at second glance since its a decently high pair

My plan (maybe flawed?) would be:

In multiway pots:
- fold an overpair if the nit fires a decent cbet

In heads up pots:
- call flop with overpair or on flops like J27, fold to turn bets
- check it down if the nit gives up on the turn (<<thoughts?)

fjuanl, as I alluded to, I think a nit has an overpair here often enough that we have set odds more often than against normal people.

I can see peeling with some kind of backdoor equity but I think I'd fold on a T22 flop when he fires out 2/3 pot.
