Here's my thinking on the hand:

I do agree that you should lay this down against most opponents. I will call in 2 situations.

1. This is an overly aggressive player that comes over the top frequently.

2. This player, or a couple of other players at the tables are multi-tablers that you play with alot. A utg raise means strength and if you lay down it shows you do not want to play for all your chips even with some of your best hands. With a number of regulars I like to appear as I will not get pushed around, and with a hand this close I think this is a good time to show you are willing to play with them for all their stacks.


I would never consider limping here. Pushing is an option on certain tables, but I still prefer the raise to T400 or 425.
