If somebody raises to $5 at 100NL, then his stack should be at least $60 big (i.e. 12:1 implied odds) for you to call with a small pair. Note how your pot odds in this example are only 1.3:1 (blinds = $1.50 + $5 raise = $6.50 / $5 = 1.3)

^^these guys covered it-- 8:1/12:1 IS talking about the implied odds, not the current pot odds. As to winning without flopping a set-- that would be nice, but I doubt your opponent is going to accommodate by checking the hand down, and you will certainly lose money long term by calling bets on boards with several broadway overcards.
