hi mach

pound now. they're betting their draws and/ or pair.

Raise now. You are ahead, but calling gives the SB correct odds to draw to a hand like middle pair. Knock him out, or make him call incorrectly.

Good luck.

On the flop I think you need to pop it, just to get some sense of where you are. If you are already dead, find out now rather than in the expensive rounds.

Hi budman,

If you are raising for information, presumably you believe you can use that information to fold. Are you suggesting that you will fold AA here if, say, the bb caps and leads the turn?

You hit the right answer I believe, raise the flop, but for the wrong reason. In general, raising for information is overrated.

my 2 cents.

Raising with 77 is not a steal.

I don't know how you are defining "steal", but if it's a raise where you would prefer to have everyone fold, than it is.

I prefer not to do it from EP.

I raise 77 from EP. People call my UTG raises routinely too. Coincidence?

raise because a coldcall looks pretty fishy.

[/ QUOTE ]

No it doesn't. You limped utg preflop and now you coldcall on 873 and 2 clubs, looks much more like overs/gutshot/flushdraw than like aces.

EDIT: I still prefer raising, but calling doesn't tip your hand that much.
