If it was $0.01/$0.02 and you were in MP, with Villain in CO, and all other players folded.
First: Your initial raise was for value. It does not count toward the current decision. It is dead money in the pot.
Bet to you: $0.18 - $0.06 = $0.12
To profitably set mine, you need 8*$0.12 = $0.96 total from the pot.

Pot: $0.01 + $0.02 + $0.06 + 0.18 = $0.27

$0.96 - $0.27 = $0.69 you must get from Villain's stack into the pot.

As I mentioned, if Villain has 2 - 3 times the minimum you need, then that's a much better spot to set mine than if Villain can barely pay you off.
