Playing Small Pairs after a raise

[Nottom]

I really hope you are the one advocating a call.

Anything else here would be terrible.

Slighly hijacking here:
I'd be interested to hear if any of you use some sort of "stacking index"?
If I think I have some sort of stacking I usually uses 80% of the opponents stack for calculations and vary it depending on supernit vs calling station etc.
It's just a very rough heuristic and I have no clue if it's accurate or not. Maybe someone here uses PT stats to determine the % of the stack to use for calculations?

All I know is assuming 100% stacking is too optimistic, ldo.

Yes - this is why implied odds of 10x the bet is a worst case scenario and typically not a good call without other factors in your favour. The times when you have much better implied odds than that and still stack them make up for the times you hit but only win a smaller pot, which is why you'd rather be playing these with more than 10x implied odds.

This is a simple call against one opponent, let alone 3. Anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

And to the example where you call 150 pf on the first hand with 33 that is also wrong, I never call more than a raise to 80 in level one unless maybe there are a ton of extra callers I will go a bit higher.

Make the call.
