Needless to say I wasn't excited about picking up 3 opponents w/ a medium pocket pair--basically changed my raise from a value raise to a pot-builder needing to hit a set. The flop was about all I could ask for w/o hitting a set. I wouldn't have had any problem c-betting if it had been checked to me, but I wasn't sure what to do versus opponent's bet.
Should I even bother raising him here? If he calls then a lot of cards are going to scare me. It's really hard for me to put him on a hand here since he started in the BB. Seems like an example of bad reverse implied odds given our deep stacks.
