This is an example where I hope to hit my set. You don't say enough about UTG to make a blanket statement. If he is the type that can't even fold AK on a miss, then yes, I am playing for set value alone.

calling raises is a lot different from limp/calling raises imo.
but yes the 22 btn example is a good example.
