The best question is to ask yourself, "Why do I want to play this hand?" If you don't think you can make money on this hand, then you should dump it and pick another spot.

I couldn't. I don't know if these guys are legit, 80% VPIP nutjobs, or warring with one another.

My initial response was to cold-call and see what BB and PFR do. I think you're ahead a significant amount of the time against an average micro-limits table, there's dead money to be had, and you're getting a slight discount to see a flop and draw to your set, 4-straight, 4-flush.

It's a difficult hand to play OOP. If you see any overcards, you don't know which ones sink you. If you've an overpair to the board, you *might* still be behind. And there's a good chance you'll see position aggression behind you.

Without a read, what range of hands are YOU willing to play against a raise and a reraise? How about at a discount (blinds, posting)?
