Default Re: dealing with minraises against your BB @ later levels (55s)

I like to call here, and being first to act, bet out about 1/2 the pot no matter what the flop.

I'd like to hear some input on this as well.

I think I like this line best, and it has been what I've been trying more of late w/ decent success. Of course when it doesn't work, I end up kicking myself for squandering away 1/2 my stack w/ a hand like 84s.

especially since its on the bubble, and you're not short-stacked at all... why risk more chips with an even more marginal hand?

Even if your bet is called, you still have $1200 left, not quite dead. I'd rather make a stand and make villain think twice before trying to steal my blind again. Plus, if he folds to your bet on the flop (I'd say there is a >50% chance of this), you've got $2900, one hand away from being chip leader.

If you fold you have $1800, and next time you have the blind with a crap hand, you'll get raised again.
