Default Re: 2+2 Table NOW!>!>!>!>!>!>!

I was very LAGgy.

But I have one substantive poker thought related to the play on this table: If you are in the SB and facing a raise from one player and one player only (i.e. an open raise and folded to the SB) whether a steal or an UTG raise, if you choose to play your hand, you should be 3-betting. Calling a raise as first caller in the SB should be so rare that you would not be making a mistake to strike it from your game. By just calling a raise you offer the BB 5:1 odds to call (OK to call a huge range of hands) and now you have 2 opponents with position on you and you're acting first in each post-flop round. If your hand is good enough to call a riase as first in, it is good enough to 3-bet -- don't ever open the welcome mat for the BB by just calling a raise in the SB.
