Your move:
The math
Correct: Call
Set-mining situation. You are getting 3.33-to-1 and your implied odds against a tight 3-bet calling range are massive when you flop a set roughly 1 in 8.5 times. The pot is bloated, the players are committed, and the stacks behind are deep enough to stack off. Flat, hope for the deuce on the flop.
