Question about calling raises at low limits with small pocket pairs
How much does the 5/10 rule really apply at small stakes, especially 25nl party? Aren't the implied odds so big on thee sites that's it's almost mandatory to call this raise with a small pocket? Is there a cut-off point like 77's or above call, etc... ? I've always been unsure of this completely. I mean standard math says that if I'm calling 15% of my stack and I'm only ~8% to flop a set, and I estimate all the times I won't get action + the times I'm set over set etc, that's it's not +EV. What adjustments can you make and what rules can you apply at these stakes though?
