As another example, if he raises 8xBB and you reraise to 20xBB, his choice is whether to call 12xBB to win 108xBB. So he is getting 9-to-1 before the flop.

So you need to increase the amount you reraise based on the size of his original raise.
Alright, that makes sense.

So you've just gotta keep his odds of winning the rest of your stack+pot better than his odds to out flop you.
