Default Re: TT from the big blind

Pretty typical and semi-tough situation. If you make a normal raise you are almost sure to be called, even if LP was just on a steal. For him to fold sends the wrong message and a good player would probably just call your raise knowing that you know he can bust you AND with position. Pushing is a huge overbet and will only get called by hands that you are way behind or very slightly ahead.

Still, you most likely have the best hand and should probably raise for value. I would then follow it up with a continuation bet on the flop or a check-raise if you flop a monster.
