[morello]

UTG+1 has reasonable stats (22 vpip). I haven't noticed him much in the hands we've played together, so he hasn't gotten noticeably out of line yet. In general, I think he's probably a decent player for this game.

I'm still not sure what the best play is here. I have an inclination but I'd like to hear what you all think. So, thoughts/comments/groupie love appreciated.


I have ~1400 at the start of the hand, and he has me covered.
