Tried to C/R, ended up calling two cold.

I don't raise here PF without a read. Even against a lot of LAG buttons it's best to just call, keep the pot small and play poker. Taking the initiative here with a three-bet only works well against thinking opponents and the rather rare weak-tighty. Anyone else think this way?

I guess the flop is the interesting part. Betting out vs. the c/r. Against unknowns, it doesn't seem clear to me.

Given the action, I didn't feel bad calling. A donk-bet and initial PF raiser raise with position didn't scare me that badly. Who folds this, and who raises (and why raise?).

The turn seems good, if I donk and get raised, I'm usually beaten unless I'm against a total lagtard. But people are paying off the CR with weaker hands pretty frequently.

3-bet the flop, you're probably still ahead.

i would be alot more inclined to 3bet without the utg limper. with him in there its not really a steal raise, so I think 3betting is bad unless the button is a donk and utg might fold for 2 cold (so yeah pretty much never). I think I would rather 3bet or fold on the flop, probably 3bet. Im not a big fan of the cold call.
