i like to call alot of hands preflop with the small pair most of the time your a favoriot after the flop but you just dont know it so alot of time like if im a 3 to 1 chip lead on the person ill just push them in hope for the coin flip

Fnord, or someone, I'm with you so far... where does the next line come from, can you explain (like I didn't major or minor in math?)

multiply them together or otherwise written (46*45*44)/(48*47*46)

Thanks for the odds,Fnord
I will keep them in mind when I gaze at my low pair.
In early position I would probably raise. But in late position I call or even fold (depending on te situation on the table).
Maybe it´s all up to what you are willing to pay to see the flop.
So if I simplify you calculation. It pays 1 to 8.2 to see the flop.
After that there are to much factors.

I think knowing your player and what he preflop raises on is the key but if i call and do not hit on flop i fold

i dont know the numbers that well in poker but those tits that are 20 posts before this one are 38 DD and as far as betting you better hope he's not on a bigger set or your ass is sunk because its all in or fold at that point................RUFF

i thought we needed 15x the raise left in stacks just to set mine against a random hand.
We have a 1 in 8 chance of hitting a set and we basically double it for implied odds, and we have a 1 in 10 chance of our low pair, flopping a set and holding up against a higher pair (from what i understand from above), then i would have thought we'd need to double it for similar reasons, maybe even triple it becuase so many hands can beat a low pair.
So it would become the 30x rule for me, that is until we get an uber genious to solve this.
But generally if i have a low pair and there is heavy action then i'm out without a second thought, but this is just my 2nl thoughts here
