Exact stack sizes up front would help make things clearer here, but I agree with Norton that there's not a whole lot you can do here in this situation. Occasionally I'll fold small pairs in EP in a very aggressive game if I'm not stacked very deep, but hands like the one you hit are the great moneymaker in NLHE. You're pretty much pot committed after your raise on the flop, and you were able to get all your money in with probably the fourth best hand on the board. Nothing to do here except reload and move on. It happens. I agree with Norton that one should usually use the 10X rule for calling preflop with small PP. Obviously, position and the tone of the game make a big difference too. Nothing's worse than throwing in 10% of your stack in EP preflop and then getting raised off of it by someone on the button . . .
