Call and see the flop ,check/fold flop if i dont hit the set or a str8 draw ...

easy fold

you're not closing the action, you have 14bb and you cannot profitably setmine being that short facing a 3bet. You can call here if you like losing chips long term...

In a sandwich position not knowing if there will be a possible 4-bet doesn't give you the right odds to see the flop. As your opponents are fat stacked you cannot make enough pressure to shut´them out raising all in.

Just fold. If CO had just flatted you could close the action with your call but even then you wouldn't really have great odds to setmine, just probably break even or barely +EV due to small effective stack sizes.

But since the CO 3bet the action is still open and you still might not see a flop at all that just makes your set mining odds even worse. (by the way, what a stupid raise size by the CO! I never understand this mini 3bet...not even double...so weird and accomplishes almost nothing).

 

[Jacki Burkhart]

Just read the spoiler. Don't let the fact that you won this hand distort your thinking. Opening raiser had QQ and so he really should have jammed pre and then you would need to fold. So if he hadn't played like a total dum dum you would have wasted 600 precious chips to "set mine" without even seeing a flop; or you would have gotten it in really bad and sucked out. Both are not winning plays.
