The idea (set mining) is to pay if you can win at least 10 times as much as you put in, right? That's for pre-flop action. You paid 10bb to potentially win 200+bb assuming you can take both LP and MP+1 to the cleaners. Maybe around 120bb for one of them.

On the flop, you have to pay 20bb for an extra card. Here is where I will play devil's advocate, maybe incorrectly. This is comparable to paying 30bb for a 4 card flop, with both players still in it, so still 250bb or so to win. Which would be equivalent to paying on average 22.5 BB for a 3 card flop to still win 250bb.

So to me it still looks worth going for the turn at this price. On average you're still putting in enough to still win 10 times what you pay. And on top of everything there is a pair on the board, which is excellent in terms of our implied odds should we hit the 2 on the turn.

Maybe it doesn't quite apply once everyone has information on the flop, but I think given the betting action nobody has the nuts and we're just drawing another card, are we not?
