Revisiting some simple situations. Anyone raising this? No one is especially loose.

I think this is a fold (maybe a limp). Who wants to play a big pot with 44 OOP?

Re: ($55s): 44 UTG, shorthanded
 

5-handed w/ your stack I like a standard raise to 275 or so.

Re: ($55s): 44 UTG, shorthanded
 

I think raising and folding are both ok options.

Re: ($55s): 44 UTG, shorthanded
 

I raise to 250-300

Re: ($55s): 44 UTG, shorthanded
 

typically, i would fold this in this position. however, if i haven't raised in a while, i'll put in a raise to 300.

You're so deep, isn't a limp ok?

Also, then you could reraise if the button tries to get fresh.

Well, I'm deep but two out of my four opponents are not. So, the implied odds are not good.
