I fold. I hate level 4, so feel free to ignore my vote.

I minraise... don't try this at home kids.

min raise? bwahahahahhaa. a lot of people fold here, but making it 250 isnt so terrible either. nice small raise you can get away from, but looks plenty scary utg. holla

[Voltron87]

250 is about the same as a minraise here. Then I try to take it down postflop. Yes is I am reraised it is an easy fold, and here all of the hands that beat me reraise almost all of the time. Most people on this forum don;t want to play postflop, so for them a 200-250 raise is going to get them into trouble.

[Raiser]

When you say "take it down postflop" do you mean that you'd bet 1/2-2/3 of the pot on almost any flop?

[Unparagoned]

I fold this here; however, I kind of like the idea of making it 250 to go. I think the decision to do this though is really going to depend on your table. If I make it 250, I don't want anyone calling obviously, so if you are at a table where you can be pretty sure you will get at least 1 LP caller and probably bring along one of the blinds as well, I will still let this go. If I'm playing at a tight table though, I think I might want to start throwing in the small pre-flop raise though...bears some thinking...

I know this is going to look fishy, but I am calling with this hand. Level 4, six players, I want to see what is happening PF before commiting more.

I also like the minraise; you may get some minimal FE since you are UTG. But if raised, you still have to let go and you will then have lost a bit more of your stack. You are not really in a great position to spend that extra 200 chips.

I guess it depends on how loose the table is...

[lehighguy]

250 hands down.

You can get away from re-reraise. You will probably take the blinds. If you limp people with marginal hands in LP will be inclined to raise.

Also, if you have loose blinds you might get a caller with an inferior hand such as KJ, QJ, K10, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of BB who will pay another 1.5BB to see a flop with those hands. Now you in posistion with a better hand.
