| One answer is: A figure that I have seen many times for set mining is 1/12th of the smallest stack, if you think you can get your opponents stack. I think it was in Professional No Limit Hold'em Vol 1 also. Example You are 150bb deep w/pocket 77's villian 100bb deap w/AA (How you know this is irrelevant) If the villian raises more than 8bb (100/12=8.34) you will not be getting the odds you need to set mine for his stack. 1/12th is used becuase you will not always get his stack if you hit your set and your set could still lose. You can also search set mining and find a lot of older threads about it. If you were talking about something esle please clarify. |

| re: Set Mine poker Set mining? Wow, that is real good information. Thanks for the tidbit. I've always gone with the theory that if it costs me 10% or less of my stack (or what I could win) then its worth it to try. That 1/12 works closer to 8.5% so a bit tighter than how I've been playing. Good to know! |
