No read on villian. How would you play this?

Any idea why MP1 is limping in this hand? If he has limped a lot, I push this preflop.

On the flop I would push straight away. Maybe check-raise to all-in is also an option, but I'm kinda weak with a draw on board.

Push.

Taking the pot right away would change your stack from 705 to 1080 which is quite a big deal at this point.

Remember that everyone with two non-pp holecards is about 1/3 to hit the flop, and it is quite a bit smaller concidering you have one of his 'outs'.

Another thing that makes me like this push is that I see alot of villains calling me with pps at least 66-TT here, and they are huge dogs to you.

If you think villain is very likely to try to steal this pot from you I might get tricky with a "probe bet" or simply checkraise this flop.

PUSH!!!

Against one MP limper, you are in good shape with your TPWK. If you check, and he bets anything, you will be inclined to fold your weak kicker even though you are probably ahead at this point. There is 350 in the pot already, and with your shortstack (2x the pot size), you must go all in to put this guy on a real decision. He will fold. If he happens to have you beat, those are the breaks, and you can play in another sit n go. If you check/fold this hand, you are playing too weak with your shortstack, and you will be blinded away before you know it.

Push with the blinds but if it were say 10/15 or 15/30 with close to 800ish chips what is your guys line here? What about a C/R and fold to a push? or Check Call and lead turn maybe.

I do not understand check and folding to the bet. You are almost always ahead when MP bets on you here after your checking. He just tries to steal the pot because you showed weakness.

Considering the blind sizes and that this is headsup. No matter what happens on the flop, you should never fold it.

Good guestion.. I posted somewhat similiar hand some days ago where the blinds are 25/50. On the hand I bet and fold to check-raise. (limper was sb). Too bad that thread didn't get any replies.
