Re: Small pair gets reraised preflop by short stack
Bizaff,
I understand what you're saying. That rule can be rephrased (in part) as "if you're getting worse than 10:1 on your money with a small pair preflop, fold", wouldn't you agree? And as you can see, I am only getting 9:1 in the described situation. So even with what you said in mind, it still appears to be a fold.
Komodo,
Suppose you have no raed on the player. Why do you not see why to fold this? This is not straightforward of course, but for one thing, consider that you'll flop a set 1 in 8.5 times. Some of those times, the other guy will have a higher set, or catch a good draw to beat you by the river anyway. And if you don't catch the set, y9ou're in no position to take initiative back. With only 9:1 odds on your money, lots of reasons can be found to fold this.
