However, pocket pairs should be profitable. Preflop raise, pressure the flop. Hit sets occasionally / fold from time-to-time.
No, the point is that it can be very profitable to flat call a preflop raise with 33 as long as we're given juicy implied odds. If you're the first one to enter the pot, that's a completely different scenario and not what this thread is about per se.
We're simply discussing how big of a raise we can profitably call relative to effective stacks preflop with the expectation of stacking our opponent occasionally when we flop a set. I also agree that stacks of 10X the bet is not deep enough, unless you had a super read that he definitely has AA and he'll definitely put in the rest of his stack on almost any board.
Also this thread is really old now eh? Hasn't the scene changed enough in recent times to update the original article (i.e. it's gotten harder to stack people with sets)?
