Preflop- Stupid Question

Allright, this may be a stupid question... in fact its probably one of my leaks. Anyways, here goes...

So I use the "tight" table from "Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play". I loosen it up a bit when my HUD numbers tell me that I am sitting at a loose table. Here is my question: When you have a calling hand and get reraised, but its not a hand that is recommended to play against a raise, do you fold?

Example: Im OTB with 78s, three limpers ahead, and I call... SB folds and the BB raises and it and the three limpers call the raise. What do I do here?

I mean, they Skylanksy, Malmuth, and Miller don't recommend playing this hand against a raise, but what if you are already half in?

Always call if it's one back to you. Check the explanations in after the charts.

If the hand was worth a call to begin with, then it's always worth calling one raise behind you. In your example, you are getting 9.5-1 on your call. Had it been two bets back to you, then you'd have to re-evaluate.
