How big a sidecar to call a raise from the bring it in?

Stud Hi FR

I never know what to do with my baby pairs that get raised when I have the bring it in.

Say you have 224, you bring it in and get raised. Easy fold.

How big does the sidecar have to be for you to call? If it is an overcard to the board? Like 2A2 when you get raised by a K?

Or does it depend more on the # of players in the hand? EG if you are getting 12.5 - 1, it is worth calling.

Depends, too, on where the raise came from. If the table folds around to the player to my immediate right or maybe even to the player two seats to my right and he raises, I'll sometimes reraise with whatever kicker to see if he's serious, depending on my read on the player.

If he re-reraises, I'm done. If he just calls my raise and still bets out on fourth, I'll fold if my hand hasn't improved. But if he just calls and then checks on fourth, I'll throw a bet at him. (Assuming at this point that you're heads-up, of course.)

Backing up, if the raise came from an earlier position, I'll call one raise (not two) if my kicker is somewhat live and higher than his doorcard and if my pair is completely live. If I see one of my paired cards or two of my kickers out on the board, I'll fold it. The point, obviously, is to catch trips or a high two pair on fourth street. If I don't, I'll fold on fifth street.
