i haven't read all the responses, but it seems like people are saying push or fold---- and i don't think that either are correct.

i think that most people think that you have correct pot odds to call, but you don't want the BB to come along which a call would certainly provoke.

and pushing into a BB who quite possibly could wake up with a monster doesn't seem worthwile either, considering you really only want to be in the hand with the UTG player.

so why not min-raise here (btw, i normally think min-raises are almost all the time wrong)? BB will be suspicious, only get involved with premium hands, and you get to isolate the raiser....

This is a problem you're going to encounter every time you're heads up in the blinds after level 4. You can't be afraid to push because the BB might wake up with a monster.

It seems you're suggesting minraising more than half of your stack, and then folding to a reraise. If you're not suggesting folding to a reraise, then why not push? If you're suggesting that minraising affords you more FE than pushing, you're assuming too much about what average players will think.

assuming that you push and the BB folds, you are investing 380 to win 1160.

[/ QUOTE ]

SB = $100
BB = $200
UTG = $480
Total= $780
Our $380 call (which, assuming we push and BB folds is really what this is) means we're only getting 2:1 on our money, right?

I like folding it and waiting for something better.
