Question about small pocket pairs

[MobbDeep]

Do u call with small pocket pairs if someone raise 4xBB ?
I usually only call if there is one more in the hand that called the raise.

Look at skemes FAQ for the 5-10 rule.

Depends on the stack sizes (side note to TWP - see I am learning). If the stacks are large enough and, based upon villains' play, I can expect to stack them (or take a sizable chunk)if they have AA or KK, then I call a 4xbb bet.

Set Mining 101 would say you should use the 5/10 rule. See Skeme's FAQ sticky here for more details.

This is really an exercise in calculating implied odds. I will let the math wizards on this board explain further.

Damn - A monkey types faster than me!
