Re: Calling two raises preflop with 4d5d profitable?
ATo early at a full table is a routine toss; but calling only costs a little. Calling-and-reraising is obscene unless its you and the maniac in the blind; even then you are better off just calling.
Playing this trash in a tournament is even worse. ReRaising out of position without any chance to steal the pot is hopeless in No Limit, unless you really believe you can get someone to lay down a pair when you bluff AT the pot; whereas they would call had you NOT 3-bet.
You've got too many trouble-hand problems to waste time worrying about whether calling raises with 54s might sometimes be correct.
