If the raise is 5% or less of your and the raisers total stack then you should call with any pocket pair. Implied odds.

Yup. Your opponent has just enough in his stack to possibly make this call. Having to call $2.75 he needs to have at least $55 behind. But after his raise he only has $54.65 so I guess the fold is okay. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]


But just because you don't like something doesn't mean the fold is right.

Position doesn't matter if you flop a set. It's even easier with a hand like 22 because you either set or fold. If it's 7.5 to 1 to flop set or better than you only need to make $20.62 or more off of him postflop to make the call. ($2.75 x 7.5)

But sometimes you'll hit and lose so maybe $2.75 x 8 is better or $22. Plus that's easier to calculate at the table.

If you flop a set don't go for a check/raise, bet right into him about the pot and hope he raises. That's how you get his whole stack. If it's a typical opponent at $50 NL with an overpair or TPTK.
