With CO limper behind you yet, I think you have too. Calling sucks. Pushing in the dark without an opportunity to gain any additional info would be a mistake IMO.

Edit: Sorry, pegged you the wrong stack size. I suppose raising is an option. SB has the chips to make this move, with a hand you're likely ahead of. You have the FE, and he has the chips to recognize such and fold. Limper sleeping on a monster here, or holding a better Q is pretty infrequent.

I don't hate the raise idea honestly. But would CO recognize a frisky BB, trying to protect 'just' TP? Blah...probably not.

I think it's a reasonable play, but at an expense not worthy of significantly effecting your short-handed chip gathering ability with open aggression -- when either push you off.

I either fold or reraise here. i folded a similar hand the other night...just didnt want to get mixed up in it and end up busting playing a hand that i should have folded preflop.

I would have no problems folding this hand. you are in a good position, about to be on the button. on such a shorthanded table, i have to think you will be able to catch a better hand that you can make a stand on...at this point, i wouldnt put additional chips in this pot unless i was willign to go all the way...i dont think i would be and i think a fold is a solid play.

If you hate to fold, then i would raise to a min of 500 and see where everyone else stands...

I'd lay this down. If I wasn't in the middle I'd make it 600 but this spot sucks and your stack is very healthy so I'd fold.

LOL, this had was a few days stale. Don't remember the circumstances. And, frankly, while 8 tabling, I may not always have a great read to pass. I do pass along reads when I have them.
