call, raise, or fold

unimproved on this hand i'd be likely to take the raise the flop, bet the turn, check through the river line here. given your read of UTG you can feel comfortable folding for a turn checkraise or a river betout.

Fold.

Hi Billy,

The pot is small, you have middle pair w/an average kicker, there's an ace on the board, you have 5 opponents, 2 of them yet to act - one of which is aggressive, no "good" backdoor draws, and a passive player betting into you on a fairly drawless board.

Not too much of that is favorable for you. I like a flop fold.

And yes, you need to raise PF as a default here, but consider limping this time, given the loose CO and button.
