Party 30/3, 6-handed. I have about t600 and villain has me covered, but not by a lot. Blinds are 15/30. I have 99 in the BB.
Villain is UTG and triples the blind. It gets folded to me. What do I do here? This guys seems like a competetant player, I don't think he would raise UTG with trash, especially as a short stack. It seems to me that when he raises that little preflop he definitely wants action.
But here's my dilema. If I push all in, I don't think he'll call me with a worse hand that often. If I just call preflop and don't flop a set, he'll be able to bully me off my hand even if I'm ahead, since I'm out of position and fear about half the deck from flopping. I don't see any point to reraise just a little, I don't have enough chips for that.
Am I resigned to just call and hope to flop a set/undercards?
