Default Raising light on a CO post with ATC and we get 3-bet by the BB

In situations such as this, is it even worth seeing the flop? We've essentially put only 1SB in the pot, and although we're getting 5:1 most of the time our cards are going to be utter junk. Is it really worth it to even see the flop?

Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

6 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises</font>, 2 folds, <font color="red">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero bends over

Situations like this happen infrequently, especially because I rarely post in CO, and even the most unobservant opponents know you're raising light on a post.

Obviously the only reason to see the flop would be for your "table image". I fold.

I don't understand why you would try this with T2o.

I call.

I'll be folding most flops, though.

I wonder about this sometimes.

I feel conspicuous enough when I'm open-raising with junk after posting in the CO that deep-down I'm kind of hoping someone will enter the pot before the action gets to me, half the time.

Take your pick, I just picked some random sub-stealing hand that you'd CO post steal with.

I almost never post in the CO because I get the feeling that someone's going to raise it up just because...

Ok, just so we agree on that. What you do with it is up to you I guess. &lt;shrug&gt;

HEPFAP goes over it a bit I think, although it's been months since I read it. Pretty much the only reason is you get a big discount on the steal attempt.

Yeah I think I'm raising any two from there. Would only think twice if I had stats on players left to act and they seem like competent TAGs.
