Default Re: Need a second opinion...

Q: I've heard other posters mentioning the 5/10 rule. What is it?

A: The 5/10 rule is an important no-limit concept that first appeared in Bob Ciaffone's excellent book, "PL & NL Poker." To quote directly from the book:

"When contemplating calling a raise because your position is good, you have a clear call if the raise is less than 5% of your stack, and a clear fold if it is more than 10%. In between those numbers, use your judgement."

10% of the stack in a deep situation like that is a borderline clear fold

i like how you changed your raise from 25xBB in MSNL to 50xBB here. thats a big difference.
