Default I didn\'t know what to do, so I raised all in

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) converter

BB ($336.95)
UTG ($322.85)
MP ($271.40)
Button ($398)
Hero ($1399.65)

UTG's been tricky loose and has kept restealing on my continuation bets.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $16</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls $12.

Flop: ($36) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $24</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $64</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1383.65</font> ??

I really hate my line here, cause I know UTG will pay only if I have the worst hand.

when i first read this i didnt realize villain only had 320 and thought it was ridiculously terrible.

but now that i see proper relative stack sizes it is merely bad.

you said it yourself: you make it impossible for villain to make a mistake here.

just check-raise him huge on a good turn. or lead into him. clearly anything is better than this.

There are so many scare cards that could come on the turn, at least I'm not letting him draw out on me.

Maybe a smaller reraise and a fold to a 4 bet ?

What if his stack was bigger ?

always the best policy...

Actually that rule should be stickied: "When in doubt, raise all in."
