Hand in Pokerroom 20+2

[jgodin]

2nd hand of the tourney. Blinds 10 - 15.

I'm in SB with 7 7

Early position raise to 80. One MP caller. I call as well.

Flop : 6 8 9 rainbow

I ...

(Sorry no converter, but I played this hand about a week ago and has just been festering in my head)

I'll post later on the rest of the action

fold pf - you don't want to get involved with raised hands like this early on

check-raise is the choice here - 3-4x what his bet is

no, dont fold preflop. stacks are very deep at this point, and the implied odds for hitting a set are great. i do like to checkraise the flop though (especially after a continuation bet).

thanks for the input. No way i fold this pf (set value is just too high).

I ended up betting 250. Check raise did cross my mind, but 20+2 players on this sight are generally weak, and a continuation bet certainly isnt a given.

EP raiser min-raises to 500, MP guy calls. Now wtf? (all players started the hand with ~1500)
