Nope. We got just what we wanted with limping behind - a multiway pot (so it is profitable for us to setmine). Even if we only had a 2 card hand here, QQ, we'd still get great odds to setmine here when no-one is behind us preflop (no fear of getting 3bet) and the pot becomes so big, that people are stacking off very light postflop.
If flop comes for example Q67r, anyone with overpair, top two, pair+openender or similar should (and will) be stacking off.
-> We're getting our money in with very good equity (by avarage) when we hit our set. If the pot would be eg. limped and 3way, we would almost never get our stacks in much better than flipping (unless they happen to flop a midset)
When we are the last to call preflop and pot is going to be 5-way, we should be calling with any hand that has a premium pair in it, no matter how bad the hand is otherwise.
IMO this is a great example of those very few spots when you can call preflop even when 90% of your hand value comes from setmining.
