i'm a noob btw, dont mind my wrong advice
Welcome to FTR, and please keep posting.

It's true in general that you need AT LEAST 15x to set mine at levels like 50nl+, but I prefer 20x set odds for flatting.

Like para says, 3b/squeezed pots are a different dynamic. The squeeze is generally weak and not as likely to stack off, and if the PFR is flatting the squeeze he probably is unwilling to stack off, too.

In a straight up 3b pot, we're more likely to stack villains when we hit a set, but we still need nearly 15x+ set odds (imo).

At lower limits (say 10nl) set hunting is profitable in a lot more situations, obv.
