no no... that's what the guy claimed to have folded... from that action I believe it to be true...

No... how could that possibly be a winning bet? It is push or fold (it is ALWAYS push or fold with 6x the blind), and considering you have very little fold equity against these players, it is a no-brainer fold.

6x the blind? I have 26xbb... or you mean 6x the bet?...
my though was just... if i call and hit my set... given the action and that the bigstack always commits to the pot no matter what I knew I would be able to get my whole stack in..
so i'm calling 200 to win at least 1720... that's 8.6:1.. no?

I misread the action somehow. It's a little closer than I thought, and I suppose you can call IF you think you're going to double every time you flop a set, but that might be hoping for a little much.
