So my understanding is you should generally be calling raises with pocket pairs whenever you and the villain have at least 7-8x the raise amount (because you will hit 1/8 on the flop).
My question is this: does this apply to any size raise? (For the sake of this argument let's assume you're last to act.) Should I be calling even 6+BB raises with my small pocket pairs? I would think so because I want to win big pots, right?
So let's say I'm playing 25NL (FR), where the usual PF raise is 3-5BB. Every so often I'll face a fairly large raise and/or re-raise, say 7+BB. Do you call as long as you both have at least 7-8x the raise?
I'd love to get some insight on good PF strategy for those smaller pocket pairs. TIA!
