Default Re: Fold after a raise?

I believe SSHE says to generally call a single raise behind you after you've entered the pot. By that time you may wish that you hadn't limped in (if your hand is marginal and easily dominated), but you're getting pot odds that are too good to fold for one more bet.

In response to the other poster, as a general rule it's good to be much more careful to call two raises (i.e., a three-bet) than a single raise. However, always folding in that situation would be a mistake. Some drawing hands, such as small pairs and suited connectors, are still getting good odds if several are in the pot. Other hands, such as two offsuit big cards (SSHE: "top pair hands"), are in terrible shape against a raiser and a reraiser.
