Default Re: Top Set, can calling the flop look weak?

What is the 5 - 10 rule?


[/ QUOTE ]

Calling a reraise preflop only If the amount to call falls within 5%-10% of your entire stack. Ofcourse, you use your discretion.

If the preflop call is questionable, but you have a good hand that can hit a nut hand (pockets, suited connectors, possibly suited ace), if the raise is less than 5% of the money you could possibly win (whoever's stack is smaller) then it's a definite call. If the raise is more than 10% of the most you could win it's a definite fold. In between it's discretion time, for me it's folding to very good players (who would tend not to get stacked w/ overpairs) and calling bad players who would easily get stacked w/ overpairs.
