Should I have called for set value?

Maniac was running 45/10 Tight was running 14/11 over 40 hands. I'm pretty sure my fold here is right but would like a second opinion.

If tight villian were'nt even in the hand it would have been an easy call to maniac villian's MP raise. IMO, I would have folded preflop to the reraise by tight villian, kind of an unfortunate situation though.

If tight villain wasn't in the hand I'd insta shove over rather than calling. In this situation with your read I think your fold is solid. That kind of pot sweetening min re-raise by tight villain indicates a big hand IMO.

I wouldn't call him a maniac.
You can see that he had practically the same opening raising range as the tight player.

Forgot to address the title of your post which is whether you should have called for set value.

Your chance of flopping a set when you have a pocket pair is about 7.5 to 1 against, so if that's all you're considering, then provided the chips you can win (those in the pot already plus the remaining stack of your opp) are at least 7.5 times the chips you need to call, you have proper odds to play for set value.

However, there are a couple of other considerations:
- Your opp may not stack off every time you do hit a set.
- You may flop a set but your opp might have a better hand on the flop or outdraw you on the turn or river.

Taking these into account, generally you need to be able to win 10-20x the chips you need to call to have proper implied odds to call a raise for set value. In this case you need to call 720 to win like 4000 which is not even the 7.5 to 1 chance that you need to hit a set.

You played the hand perfect imo. Your read was dead on. You were beat pre flop. I pat my self on the back and don't even look at the table because I know that ten is coming!

Easy fold here preflop (if TightVillain is reraising small like this, you know he's begging for a call or to be shoved over).
If T.V. is not in the hand, I don't flatcall here in SB... I'd be shoving over Maniac's raise.
