Should I be calling raises with 4 4 ?

I'm in a very juicy game right now. I folded 44 to a 6x blind raise preflop. Flopped a set of 4's on a monotone board and completed the full house on the river. The guy in LP flopped the nut flush. I would have emptied his entire stack, I'm sure of it (about $50 worth) . Should I have called that 6x blind raise preflop with 4 4 ? I know I should have that time but over the long run, will that hurt me or is it + EV . Thanks. I was out of position BTW. I was in EP and it was the BB raising so I had no idea if guy in MP or LP would have called. Thanks.

Need more information. Blind structure? Stack sizes? Whether or not you would have flopped a set and filled up on the river is irrelevant. If you should have folded pre-flop, you should have folded, but we need more information to tell you that.

found one juicy game. Good LAWD. I got no freaking hands, though.

You should've been a blowjob.

I'm just going to reply to your topic.

Yes, given deep stacks, aggressive opponents, and not to big of a raise (4BB - 6BB depending on number of limpers).

I should have been a woman's bicycle seat.

If you think you can get his stack when you make your set, call raises that are up to 5% of the smaller stack between you and him. Over 10% is a definite no, and between 5 and 10% is a judgement call depending on if the pot will be multiway and if there's dead money in the pot, etc.

Thanks Mason. This is a complex concept. You said something about calling if the raise is 5 % of the smaller stack between the big stack which he was but he wasn't the one who raised. There 5 limpers and 4 people who called the huge 6x blind raise. YEAH I KNOW . Unreal. This was a regular occurence. It was a $3 raise at .25/.50 NL.

Anyway you can elaborate or give me a hypothetical situation to explain it further Mason ? I still am not totally understanding you. Thanks Mason.
