Grunch.

Preflop, I raise or fold. I hate limping UTG. With a poster in, I'm raising because he's putting in the extra a lot of the time anyway.

That said, it'd be tough to give the SB, playing any two, credit for a made flush, or a 3, or a made straight, or an ace. If you raise pre-flop, he may not even be in the hand. But his check-raise on the flop should tell us we are in trouble.

I'd have a tough time laying it down with an overpair on the turn without the 4th diamond coming. So I call.

The river is terrible, and we can probably lay down, but I'm calling and making a note of what he check-raises the flop with.

Again, I raise 77 preflop from UTG. I just can't limp. More often, if I limp, I'm getting ISO-raised by ATos in UTG+2 who would have folded had I raised. KJos, AJos, same thing. When they ISO-raise, now it's 50/50. If we get to the river.
