45/15 raises utg, 25/15 cc in CO you have 88 on button.

Fold/Call/Raise (sb is is looooose, bb is avg)

no way i'd fold. 3-betting seems like a viable option, as does calling. not really sure which one is better. i apologizing for adding nothing to this thread.

You didn't contribute nothing.

Choose door A, B or C. Ok, I can tell you it's not the earlier letter of the remaining two. Do you want to change your guess?

CC and try to get it 5 way?

I 3-bet this close to 100% of the time.

This is one of the few spots where I cold call.

PokerBob · #7 05-15-2005, 03:17 PM

I would raise. But I don't know if that is the right play. If here had 99 it would be auto raise correct?

The more I think about it you have to call. Raising seems like it would commit you more to the pot than you should be. Assumming that UTG has two overs and the CO will have two as well. I could be wrong, but it seems like you would need to hit a flop of all unders or a set to win this hand, there for calling is the best option. This logic seems correct to me, so if I have some huge error I hope someone could point it out for me.

Easy raise. CO has AJ, KJs, QJs, or a lower PP.
