Overpair under fire...

As I said before I'm new to NL so I still have a ton to learn.

stack sizes are important

i raise this preflop pretty often, given one weak limper

if BB is solid (read:non-crazy), i consider folding, as there is no way to know if he has hit 2 pair, top pair, or is on a draw.

stack sizes and previous play from BB would dictate my decision here

BB had me well covered with around $70. I had around $20. This was about my 6th or 7th hand so I'm assuming he's not crazy.
