Re: Calling raises early on with PP to hit sets?
You can use the rule of thumb of calling if the bet is 5% of your stack or less, fold if 10% or more, and use your judgment if in between. If you're closing out the action, you can take more risk. This would be pre-flop.
Once the flop hits, you only have about a 4% chance of hitting your card on the turn, so the stacks would have to be huge relative to the bet to play on. So if you follow the strategy of just trying to hit the flop and giving up if you don't, that will work fine, since your stack will never be large enough to call, unless the bet is absurdly small.
