no reads since i was multi-tabling.

my plan is a re-raise all-in steal and hope he folds.

but if he doesn't:
- if he has overcards, then it's a coinflip with him on the wrong side.
- if he has overpair, then i'm dominated.

wrong to steal here? why/why not?

THX!

Easy fold. UTG raise usually means "my hand is better than yours."

ah.. but knowing that an UTG raise=strong, wouldn't a re-raise all-in represent that my hand is even stronger, possibly jj/qq?

250 chips (utg 175 + 25 sb + my 50 as the bb) = 30% increase to my stack if he folds.
