Default Re: Basic preflop question

Raise or fold. I dont' think you want to be in a 4-way pot w AT. Reads justify a raise to get it HU w the button. I'd say it's one of those moves you make when you know you're playing well- -otherwise pass.

I'd much rather call here than fold. Raising > calling > folding, IMO.

I actually typed up a post making an argument for calling, but it became clear to me that raising was better.

We can checkraise the crap outa a ton of flops and really control this board by just limping preflop. We're probably best preflop, so I can't think of any reason to fold here. The only question is which maximizes our EV, Raising or Calling. In this case it seems pretty clearly raising.

I like raising because of c/r potential, but we still have the c/r potential even with a call, but we get more money in PF from people we can face with 2 cold on the flop / turn.
