Long way to the money-- about 150 left of 250.
The 2 callers have been pretty loose, but everyone at the table had been laying down to any big bet. In this hand, no one has shown any strength. Should I just take what's out there or look to double up?
My thinking:
1. Limp in -- seems weak with most likely the best hand
2. Raise 3x BB -- Would probably drag along the 2 previous callers. Could still still get away from the hand if others called and I missed the flop and others showed some strength.
3. Raise more than 3x BB -- Anything much more is going to commit me to the pot if I get a caller.
4. Push -- If I get no callers, then be happy to have raised my stack more than 10%. If get callers, hope to double up and get back to average. SB & BB would be risking less than 20% of their stacks to call me, so should that make me more cautious?
5. Fold -- not really an option
What is the best option?
