The UTG minbet says to me AQ/AK, and maybe AJs for unpaired cards. Paired cards would be midpairs-highpairs, the UTG minbet could really mean anything from extreme strength to average.
UTG Likely Range- AK/AQ, 99-JJ.
UTG Semi-likely- AJs, AA, KK, 88
UTG+1's cold call is most likely a low PP or high suited cards, but im banking mostly on low-mid PPs.
Options:
A.) Cold call- I hate this because i have no idea what to look out for on a flop and it remains two-handed. Ive got the worst position postflop and dont know if the K is scary or if the 8 is. Im really not sure what im trying to dodge. The benefit is less risk if i want to play it soft.
B.) Reraise- With UTG committing 100 of his 650 chips, any reasonable raise will commit him to the pot and probably wont drive UTG+1 out since UTG will be offering good odds by calling. I hate this play as well since im not sure if i want to invite calls. The benefit is the added value on a good hand.
C.)Push- Pushing creates the most fold equity, but i have to be worried than when i get called it will be by a midpair, AK, and overpairs. I think he calls with 99-JJ and im happy, AK and im indifferent but would prefer gettin my money in in a better spot, and AA/KK im very unhappy. UTG+1 i expect to fold regardless. This means by pushing im protecting the hand but not getting any real value out of it. I hate this play since you dont get a hand as strong as QQ often and im getting no real value from it. The benefit is the protection and not having to guess where im at postflop.
This is my analysis, results pending. Any different takes or suggestions im more than open to, but keep in mind its a $50 buyin which means slightly higher preflop standards.
