Now, if I get a blind raise, and everyone else calls around, I usually call as well, as my odds are still there.
As was stated previously, I play tourneys much tighter, and 33 go way down my list, unless I' m near the button, the blinds are high, or I' m shortstacked.
Mini-pairs are the BOMB when you can get in cheap (cash game.) However, in a tourney the blinds often get silly so fast they quickly lose their implied odds in most pots. Like I said, this chart is very tall stack and cash centric. Avoiding reverse implied odds like the plague.
For short stack games, the self-weighted all-in hand rankings are a pretty darn good hand ranking system.
