This is tough because of your gutter. Without it I think you can raise and fold to a 3-bet, or take the free showdown if given the chance.

Actually, I think I'd raise anyway.

without the gutshot you'd raise and fold to a 3-bet, yeah i guess i can see that pretty easily.

i'm not sure a raise is best in this spot though because of the gutshot.

Well if the bettor is someone who won't bet here without a better hand, then of course raising is out and you should fold.

If not, I think raising is better because you can chase out the other two guys while you still have a chance at having the best hand.

Did you raise just so you could call and chase your gut-shot? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
