A TT hand.

I'm pretty sure I played this correctly, however would like to get some comments on this hand.

No real solid reads. UTG limper has not been overly loose and the raiser has not been overly laggy.

fold? might shove pf too.. 175 chippers cant hurt.. TT aint that bad.. holla

edit: by saying 'fold?' that means that its an easy fold after he makes that raise. holla

I think fold. 2.2:1 pot odds with two yet to act when you are a coin flip with the raiser at the very best. Let em go.

At this level in CO, I'd actually be raising it when it got to me...picking up position & shuting out the blinds, will often give you a great chance to move on a nice pot at the flop.

Here, BB is mearly raising close to 1/2 his stack. Big donk, or Monster hand (or just someone more clever & bold than me, making a move on the limpers). I only have t50 invested - I'm not paying to find out.

Thanks for the input guys.

My thinking was that the UTG limp had me a little worried as he had not been limping into many pots. So, I figured with two already in the pot, I could afford to limp in and play for set value while the blinds were still low.

However, when the raiser put in half of his stack and the two EP limpers folded, I thought seriously about pushing. But decided to fold, thinking that if the raiser was willing to commit his stack with five people already in the pot he had a monster hand ( or he was a donk as BlueFeet suggested).

Turns out he was a donk. Interesting play with 88 in my opinion.
