Default Suited Connectors Facing Re-Raise In Position

This is an incredibly basic question which I have not found a good answer to (perhaps I should search the archives more...)

Folds to Hero on button who raises to 4 BBs with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Or any other small SC).

SB Folds. BB re-raises to X.

BB is a nit PF and will be making this raise with QQ+ and maybe AKs. He will go broke with an overpair or TPTK every time.

How big of X are you willing to call to try to stack him?

Assume X = percentage of your stack.

For small pocket pairs, I'm willing to get about 10% of effective stacks+pot in for this situation, but I don't have any good rule of thumb for suited connectors in this spot. (I've been using about the same rule for calling with the SCs, but I have no idea if it's optimal. I suspect it's not)

What about 1 gappers?

A few relevant probabilities (on flop):
2 Pair: 24:1
Trips: 73:1
FH or better: 1000:1
Flush: 118:1
Straight: ??
Straight Draw: ??
Flush Draw: 8.1:1
SFDraw: ??
Pair + SD: ??
Pair + FD: ??
Pair + SFD: ??

2 Pair or better (ignoring draws + Pair+draws): 14.9:1

Of course, the above ignores both the ?? odds which I cannot for the life of me find, and don't yet want to try to calculate, and also ignores redraws.

Anybody got a good rule of thumb for me?
Anybody want to give me an explanation of where they got that rule?
