title says it all, always position on top 20 places but no places paid, donkeying my chips away for no apparent reasons or getting horribly sucked out.

I can grind NL10 then loose all my profit in 2,3 crucial hands, meh.All these little things stack up and the result is:

*drum roll*

BR = 130 bucks Weeeeeeeee !

From a healthy 600 where i can definitly place in sng, and performing good in cash games to a creepy 130 bucks. Whatever, im a realistic guy so i don't care much i need to change my plans my baby br is in danger now.

Anyway i had a question in FR games:

- Should i call a raise with a small pp ?

So far, it has been ev- to do so, i call a raise (lose like .50) and i hit trips 1 out of 7 times. so it means my call costs me 3.50 bucks. I never call raises from shortstacks. So now i hit my trips, i call on flop then c/r or bet on turn, usually deep stack goes away before i can make my 3.50 back. Sometimes he has a high pp and goes all-in, when i don't get sucked out i stack him and win 1 BI.

Now let's say villain can holds AK/AQ/AJ and misses the flop, i don't hit a set but i still win. I pushed a couple of times, they usually shove to scare me/or when they hold a higher pp. It ends by me getting stacked to AA/KK/QQ/JJ .

Any flaw in my reasoning ? I've been thinking a lot about this one but doesn't seem to find any answers.

So pp are ev+ to call when pf raise ?

If your pocket pair does not make a set, CHECK/FOLD.

If you try to get him off overcards or float too much, you'll be spending more money without a set meaning the implied odds of your hand disappear (since we are not calling bets > 10% of their stack, if we suddenly start calling or raising on the flop when we miss our set it's basically the same as if called raises > 10% of his stack PF.. kinda).

Hm.. Off-suite socks..
