I disagree here strongly, but I'm about to get something to eat so I don't want to get involved here too much. I'll just put out an example.
Suppose you are playing a tight-agressive game, and you pick up a SC in late position.. say 6d 7d.. with an early position limper. You both have a 1000xBB stack. You change it up for a bit and play it agressively raising to 4xBB. You get a call behind you from the button and everybody folds except the limper, who calls. Flop comes rags with 2 diamonds. Limper checks to you, you make a c-bet, button folds. EP limper calls. Turn is a blank. Check-bet-call. River brings a diamond, and both of you guys start betting like crazy. Bet-raise-raise, you get the point.
More then likely, you are going to put your stack into the hand if you have 1 buyin, but are you going to risk 10 buyins here when his action makes it almost certain that you are beat?
