Yeah you get it...but basically, I am saying that when the pot is raised, especially with more than yourself as the caller, the chances of stacking someone increases greatly. Of course, reverse implied odds are alos a consideration, but not a huge one.

You guys have pretty much figured out my line of reasoning. I'll often call small raises with small pps, especially if I've already limped. My requirements are:

1) The bet is < 10% of my stack
2) At least one other player in the hand also has at least 10x the bet in their stack.
3) I believe a reraise behind is unlikely

In that situation, I figure my implied odds are good enough to take a look at the flop. I play it mostly for set value, but often take down the pot if a board full of blanks falls.

I call this with JJ on level 1, or if I'm feeling frisky I raise to 150. Raising this to 100 makes this hand VERY difficult to play.

From this and another thread of mine I'm learning that my raises are often too small. Possibly a big leak in my game. I'll try bumping them up a notch.

Thanks for the comments, all.
