Any reads on MP3, CO, and button?
I'd take one of the following, depending on which gear I'm in:

pre-flop
a) cold-call, see the flop.

b) raise to 150-180 to steal button

This really depends on your reads (if you have any) and your table image (again, if you have any). With a super-tight/agg image, where your cold-call would be considered a monster; he would probably check to you if he didn't hit or minibet, where you could bet 1/2 the pot or more and steal it right there.


On that note, t250 is a ridiculous raise with AKo considering this guy is UTG.
Its $11, right, and he's as likely to have 32o as AA at this point, but I wouldn't get married to my AKo to raise t250 with. Any PP is a favorite over you, and a default 3BB from UTG feels like a mid-PP or a hand close to yours.

Edit: holy [censored] this is a $55, I would definitely give that guy credit for a hand.
