Villian has been at table for 1 orbit, so nothing to say about him yet.

100NL
Hero ~$80
Villian covers.

Villian SB
Hero BB with QQ

PF, 2 late posn limpers, SB raises to $8 , Hero calls , <font color="#666666"> 2 folds </font>

Flop ($18) comes: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero bets $15 , SB raises to $45 , Hero?

I've got just under $60 left. I dont think calling is an option so all in or fold?

Comments appreciated as I'm still new to NL.

The pot contains $78 and you have under $60 left. You are right that there is really no point in calling Villain's $30 raise and having only $30 left in a pot of $108. I'm going to fold here because Villain made a very good checkraise given my stack size.

Side question: does anybody else even consider checking behind on the flop? Never mind, checking behind sucks. The checkraise tells you you're either beat or are in a marginal spot against a good aggressive player. I'm outta there.
