Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 4045529, member: 88730"] 1) position doesn't matter when set mining 2) The example you are stating is more accurately stated as, "is it profitable to cold call a 3-bet to set mine?" In your example, it matters what UTG's range is. You have 2 problems when you cold call here, obv your range is really face up. And second you have to hope UTG isn't 4-betting. Small pairs, 22-88, I'd advocate just folding here. 99+ it becomes opponent dependent. The looser UTG is RFI, then the wider you can cold call here. Lastly, ideally you want as deep as stacks as possible. If you're talking about 100 bbs, then like I said, 22-88 I'd just fold. It's not profitable as a generic answer. 99-TT it depends. [/QUOTE]
