Re: n00b hand

Why exactly is the raise standard? The advice I gave my friend was to just call BB's wake up bet because UTG+2 would probably not make a crying call if it was 2 bets to him (should this not be assumed for an unknown player at this level?) but would call with a lot of holdings if it was just one bet and when we're behind a 3 bet from the BB is suck.

There's no guarantee UTG+2 will (over)call anyway, but BB will call 1 more unless he was on a total bluff. Getting 3-bet does suck, but you're ahead significantly more than 55% of the time (an inferior two-pair -- such as K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 -- may 3-bet here, for example), so just raise/call.
