Party 30/60, typical tight regular raises utg. Folded to you in the small blind and you have TT. Who likes doing what?

[/ QUOTE ]

i like a raise.

are you 3betting here with AK? AQs? 99? JJ? KK? QQ? AA? i believe 99 is a call but an argument can be made for 3betting to take control and make JJ/TT fold on unfavorable flops. UTG's range is key here obviously and if you just call TT, you likely give up some equity vs. a range here and the benefits you get from "disguising" you hand are hard to take advantage of due to the likely contents of a flop.

id prefer to put more money in now and take control to get the BB out as well who m ay now call with Q5s or KJ where if you 3bet those hands will likely fold (and if they dont, they are now paying a bb to come in)

so in general i like a 3bet.
