I think this is a big leak that a lot of players do.

Example for 25nl:

You raise to $.85 w/ 66
Villain (25/10) reraises to $2.5 or so

You should probably fold.

Villain's remaining stack is only around 10x this bet.

Given that you only flop a set around 1/8 times, and it won't always win, even if he stacks off 100% of the time you hit you're probably barely breakeven.

In short, I'd probably call a min-raise preflop, but not a whole lot bigger. Also, if there's multi-way action this also changes things considerably.

For example:

You raise
MP re-raises (pot)
BTN calls
I typically call here, assuming everyone has ~ 100bb
