SB: $26.20
BB: $25.30
UTG: $17.25
MP: $45.20
CO: $26.50
Hero (BTN): $24.65

Preflop: Hero is dealt A/images/graemlins/club.gif Q/images/graemlins/club.gif (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.10</font>, SB folds, BB calls $0.85, UTG calls $0.85

Flop: ($3.40) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2/images/graemlins/club.gif (3 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $1.75</font>, Hero...



UTG is the standard loose passive station,BB plays 29/14/1.5
no special reads.
I don't like to call because I want to protect against the
draws (especially with 2 villains in the hand) but If I make
a potsize reraise and the BB pushs a have a tough decision...
So what do you think is the better play?
And would you call a shove without reads?

Well yes, raising is extremely standard vs the stations, but I don't mind calling here sometimes.
It will make it easier to extract value if the turn is blank since UTG will probably think you missed the flop when you didn't raise. If the turn isn't blank and he fires again you can call and re-evalute the river, possibly cheaper than if you had gone to war with him on the flop.

Let me know what happened /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Edit: Now that I read it, it really made me sound like a station. Maybe I am?

Thought about it again and I think that raising is the best because there are flush+straight draws against two opponents and probably I would call a UTG shove because after the potsize reraise there is so much money in the pot and he could push a draw.Is this bad?

Oh sorry mistyped I mean I would call the BB shove (obviously the utg shove).That's what I'm thinking about,maybe now someone has an opinion lol.

sorry guys have to bump this, still don't know if I have to call or fold a shove from the BB if I raise the UTG-donkbet?

3 way with draws on the board...a reraise here is mandatory

Dude, raise to 7, BB got like 20+ at this point, if he shoves yer certainly not committed, just fold.
