*Yawn* Preflop decision

[Aaron W.]

In this hand, CO has been here for 10 hands but is already shaping up to be a LAG. He's raised every time he's come in at this point. I believe SB is a browntrout since his name sounds familiar, but he seems a little loose and a little aggy over a small sample size so I'm not sure.

After a preflop revelation by Aaron and d5 yesterday, I wanted to reexamine a few pf decisions. Is this one trivial?

I don't think it matters much either way. You're probably going to see this flop 4-5 handed and you have a pretty good mutliway hand. You've got a potential LAG in the pot who will likely help you to pump the pot if you flop a strong draw.

On the other hand, I don't like the 3-bettor's position relative to you. He's going to come out firing on most flops and if you catch a weak draw, you may find yourself getting trapped between LAG and TAG.

I would probably fold until I get a better read on SB and LAG.
