Calling reraises with small/medium pocketpairs

[iheartponeez]

When it comes to PP I don't think position is very important anymore. It's not like AQ where you wonder where you stand. You either have a hand you're willing to push it all with, or one you're looking to drop, and there's not much grey area in between.

That said, I'll personally call a reraise (not the total amount, but the amount put over my money) of up to 10% of the villain's stack. We have a 1/8 shot to hit.

Now at first this seems profitable, since you're basically paying $1 for a 1 in 8 chance to in $10 (a great racket), but then you realize that not every time you get a set will your opponent stack off.

But THEN you realize that since the guy 3-bet you, we're playing for bigger money, the chances of taking down a big pot are pretty high, and stacking off ain't no thang.


So that's my take on it.
