This situation has come up a couple times recently. I'm in good chip position with eight players left. UTG player appears to be a good TAG. We both have around t1800 with blinds at 15-30, so I'd like to avoid a pissing contest with him...
UTG (t1800) raises to t90 UTG +1 (HERO) (t1800) has QhQs 5 shorter stacks in between us and the BB, who has T1400. So between the 3 of us, we have 5000 of the 8000 chips in play. My thinking here is that UTG is a good player and his raise represents a real hand. I'd like to avoid a huge pot (pre-flop) with him, but if I just call, I'm giving almost 4:1 for the BB to also call. If the hand was just the two of us, I could call and see if an A or K comes. Obviously, I'd like to re-raise but I really don't want to invite a pre-flop push from UTG. Even if he has AK, there's really no need for us to go to war at this point with our chip positions. I feel that a re-raise is mandatory to avoid giving proper calling odds to BB. Does popping it to 250 sound about right? And if UTG re-raises all-in, would you ever lay this down or would that just be weak? Any thoughts would be appreciated... |
