Default Re: How\'s your SSNLHE?: 22

I think folding to the preflop raise is correct.

I'm not the biggest advocate of the 5/10 rule to begin with, but I think it has zero bearing in this case. It's an implied odds rule, and you're in a hand against a PFR who can have anything, and you're OOP. There is no guarentee you're going to win more than 5 bucks if you flop a set. The implied odds just aren't there.

Furthermore, you're OOP with a garbage hand in a raised pot. Which leads to all kinds of awful, tricky, negative implied odds situations like this one.

Why even bother?
