Stopping some possible leaks

[Jackrabbit Slim]

1. First of all, I don't raise anything to 125 first in on level 2. If the table has been passive, I'd probably limp this one and try to hit a set. A raise to get the blinds like you did is probably fine as well, although I don't do it much (not at all actually). Getting called by the button and having to play this relatively large pot out of position would suck.

2. If the raiser isn't a complete idiot, he's not raising from that position just to fold to your raise. I think taking a probable coinflip here for more than half of your pretty decent stack is very unnecessary. Just fold.

3. You have a nice stack, the blinds are tiny and 44 sucks, throw it into the muck.

4. Yes, very easy call.
