Raising all the pairs.
To increase my pf raise I started to raise all my pocket pairs from each position. I wonder how the 5-10% rule applies when facing a reraise? I suppose standard pot sized reraises should be instacalls...

Re: Raising all the pairs.
Calling reraises with pairs is something you have to be careful about. A lot of people leak a lot of money by overestimating their implied odds if they hit a set. The 5-10% rule, IIRC, is based on the idea that your opponent is likely to have a big pair and pay you off when you flop a set. If you are playing 6-max, people tend to be reraising with more than just big pairs, so calling with every pocket pair just for set odds isn't always right.
Decide based on the player how likely it is that A) he has a hand that will pay you off if you hit or B) he is raising with enough trash that I can move him off his hand without improving to a set. But you have to be honest with yourself about how often you'll be able to take the pot down without improving and your implied odds. Sets are fun to flop, but not always profitable to chase.

If the cost to add from what you've put in from your raise to cost of calling the re-raise is over X% of effective stack, fold it.

Probably not something you need to be told, but changing play to manipulate statistics is a slippery slope for some people.

When calculating the effective stack sizes you should take into account the amount in the pot at this point. Normally this is irrelavent when calling a raise with small PPs since the pot contains only one or two bets. Here, however, it contains your original raise plus the re-raise. So, your effective stack size is the sum of the current pot and the smaller of your and your opponents stacks.

Now when reraised the possibility of stacking the opponent is much greater when you call a raise in BB with 22 against button stealer...

You have to look at position, your cards and villain's tendencies rather than just have rules.
