Another hand where I feel a bit lost, although something tells me that this might be trivial. Level 2 in a $11 at Party and since the limp-fest already started I join to try and hit a set with TT. The BB decides to get silly and minraises us, and naturally everyone calls. I'm really not sure what this means at this level, could be a high pair or someone who just finds the raise button amusing.
The flop is pretty decent for me, but with all those limpers, a set is a very real danger here I think. The preflop raiser bets out with a 1/3 pot bet. This really makes no sense at all to me but I think there is a chance that I'm behind the raiser here and I've got several people acting after me. What's my move here? Any raise that would serve any purpose here will commit me to the pot so I guess the options are call/fold/push?
