[Closed] set mine

Hey JHTAN,

It's very close if you could stack him every time you hit, might be even -EV because of the rake, so I would just fold this preflop and stick to call20 rule when deciding whether to setmine.

Hi burek,

I am not sure about the call 20 rule.
In this hand is $0.65*20=$13 or the amount Hero need to call that is $0.35*20=$7?
May you help me, please?

From the BSS guide:

WHAT DOES 'CALL 20' MEAN? When you play a small pair like 55 you are speculating on hitting three-of-a-kind on the flop. This only happens approx. 12% of the time, but when it does, you will have a very strong hand that can bring in a fair amount of money. This is why it's profitable to call a raise when holding a small pair, as long as your opponent has enough money to pay you off when you do hit. With a small pair, you should only call a raise, when your opponent has at least 20x the raise amount in his stack. By the way, this applies to you as well. You must also have 20x the raise amount. You can only win as much money as you have in your stack, so if your opponent has 20x the raise amount but you don't, it really doesn't help you. That is what the term 'Call 20' means.

You both need a $0.65 x 20 = $13 stack.

As MeanGreen already pointed out, the Call20 rule is a BSS rule applied to play with PPs as a general guide to when to call for set value. It means one can call for set value when your remaining effective stack size is 20 times the amount you have to call meaning you and your opponent both have 20x the amount you have to call in your stacks.

In your case this would be 0.35$x20=7$

Here, somewhere in the middle of this articles the call20 rule is explained as it's used in the BSS SHC if you would like to have a look at it.
