Re: Does Villian have odds to call with pockets??
I think UTGs call with 55 was fine, he just about had implied odds to set mine against you and it's likely the other guy was going to come along too. I think his mistake was limping preflop, he should probably either raise or fold. It's pretty close though and not hugely +/- EV.
Your analysis of the other players is interesting. At higher levels then you opponents will be paying attention to the stack sizes of who is left to act, but at NL10 this isn't going to happen. You just need to play really simple, straight forward poker.
Because you are a good limit player you are probably used to playing with people who are at least reasonable. When you are playing at NL10 you should assume that your opponent is a total donk, until you know otherwise.
