Yes. The guy w/ 55 called 1/5 of his stack pre-flop. We don't disagree here.

I don't think you understood what I was saying. I didn't say that someone had [B]already[/B] put in 1200 chips.

4dogs said that with a low pair, you don't always need to flop a set to continue, and that sometimes a continuation bet takes the pot down. I was merely stating that while this is a viable option in some cases, I'm not sure it's an option when you've already committed 1/5 of your stack pre-flop. A continuation bet by of 1/2 the pot commits you for almost 1/2 your stack... which is where the 1200 figure comes from.

I realize he flopped trips... my post was in reply to 4dogs' hypothetical situation of NOT flopping trips.

I'm not sure what point you think I'm not understanding. The guy called 1/5 of his stack pre-flop with 55. I've yet to see a reply as to why this was actually a [U]good[/U] idea.

Your implied odds are worse than 5:1, making this a play with a negative long term EV. This was also pointed about by Bill_Hollorian earlier in the thread. I'm agreeing with his post.

I'm not saying you always lay down low pairs to a raise .. just that you need to make sure you're getting the implied odds to make the call.
