Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed)
converter
<font color="blue">I was wondering if I should have even been in the hand. My thoughts were to raise if it was limped to me anyway, and the button is a weak/tight/rock so I doubt he'd make the call, and if he did I'd be pretty sure that I was behind. So I figured I'd be last to act with a hand that I planned on raising anyway. I may not have been getting good odds, but I still made the call. Was 3-betting an option here? How would you have played it?</font>
