Re: Can you get away from this set?
 

Raising TT in this spot is not something I would do. I'd just limp and play for set value.

Re: Can you get away from this set?
 

I wouldn't necessarily raise with soooo many limpers in an $11, but it is certainly not insane.

To the OP: I call in an $11 - too often you will find either or both of them having cards that leave you completely baffled.

TT is a strong button hand. I think you need to raise preflop to limit the field. That way, you have more of an idea what you are up against. I'm not saying everyone is going to fold, but with a hand like TT, you need to make sure that people don't hit 2 pairs if cards under T come out. If overcards come, you can fold, but you don't want to go broke because someone hit 2-7.

I agree. With, what, 4 callers in front of you, you've got to raise it to at least T100 on the button. (I realize it wouldn't have kept you alive in these circumstances, with Mr. JJ flopping a set. Just sayin'.)

Basically, if you don't raise TT, you are playing it the same way you would play 22 to 77, just hope you hit the set, otherwise you concede the hand.

Raising 88 here = puke. I am in the "limp here with up to JJ at an $11" crowd.

Re: Can you get away from this set?
 

All you people saying this is a call at the $11s - What level do you fold this at? $55s? $215s? $22s? What?

Re: Can you get away from this set?
 

I qualified it with $11s because it is an easy call (IMHO) in an $11 where they could have a much wider range of hands.

Only being behind JJ, 79 and 9Q, and certainly getting odds to go up against any draws, even if they are slight favorites, and having redraws on the straights, I think it is probably a call in any STT, but a much tougher call at a higher buyin.

Thats an interesting question however it is almost impossible to answer. How often to this many people limp in level 1 of a 55+? Since the answer is rarely to never the rest of the hand plays out entirely differently. Also in a 55+ The only hand that is beating you is JJ as q9 and 79 are very unlikely. So this line is so different in each level because there are so many different variables.

CALL.
