My question is regarding if there's ever exceptions to calling off more than 5% of your stack with a speculative hand in the following hand I called over 7% of my stack to an UTG raise with 2 callers on the cutoff with Ten-Eight of clubs mainly because I had position and seen 3 players we're in the pot basically unless I hit trips or 2 pair, straight, or a big flush draw where I could double my chips I was gonna proceed with caution and get out of it relatively easily.. If it was a heads up pot between me and a raiser I would never call more than 5% of my stack how would you assess the following hand is there anytime you can make an exception and call off more than 5% of your stack Daniel Negreanu says in 1 of his books to never call off more than 10% of your stack with bust em type hands I find I play tighter than most so I like to take the odd chance and try to connect hard on a flop with a speculative type hand if the situation makes sense.
