    Default Calling a 5xBB raise with 66...

    Is it worth it to do it with no reads whatsoever?

    Sorry for the HH in strat, but this is a strat question in my opinion.

    IMO, it would have been an easy call if you had a bigger stack in front of you....you would have been getting great implied odds....but not really worth calling the reraise with such a small stack.

    EDIT: Didnt see you were in the BB...you are outta position. But your really looking for a set and dropping it anyways.

    Don't let your stack get down to half the buyin.

    Calling here sucks because UTG+2 can still reraise.
    TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

    easy call with 100bb stack cause implied odds are huge.

    but cause you only got a 50bb stack and there is a raise/reraise its probably an appropriate fold.

    Normally I would have called I think, but I had just taken a really bad beat against a 10-3 off suit and got beat for like 30 dollars. I always try to play tighter to avoid tilting.

    If you want to make most of your sets, keep your stack at max. In this case this woulda been a borderline call but I think I would have made it. You have to think that you will get at least $25 net profit if you call that PFR if you consider calling.
