"There is a Sklansky thread where he advocates the same thing with 73s"

that's if youre all in preflop.

Re: The Peter Rus rule
 

if i recall correctly the 73s call is if you are going all in preflop.

Re: The Peter Rus rule
 

FWIW I defend with a ton of hands HU and anything suited 4 way but I play a little tighter 3 way. It's a tough spot to play low pairs out of position against mulitple opponents even if you do play expertly.

Re: The Peter Rus rule
 

What if you only had 1 BB left in your stack? What about 1.5 BB? 2 BB? What would be the worst amount of BB to have left in your stack?

Getting 5.5:1 odds on an all-in call, I think it's correct to call any 2:

equity (%)
15.9 { 72o }
48.1 { 88+, ATs+, KJs+, AJo+, KQo }
36.0 { TT-77, AJs-ATs, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, AQo }

Getting 5.5:1 odds on an all-in, we need 15.4% equity. Rake might make 72o barely unprofitable. This illustrates the power of having a short stack.

I think it's correct if you play well. Also it depends on the blind structure, but for general purposes it would be correct if you played "expertly"

Hi Baron,

With a raiser and 2 cold callers it would be 4 to the flop. 3 to the flop is the original rule.

yes, that is what i filtered for (3 to the flop). 4 to the flop is slightly better but only .02BB/hand
