Default Re: 10$/45 FT - 77 UTG+1

If you raise, someone is going to shove on you.

This one is all about stacks.

There is one stack behind in which a shove would just be a call. There are two stacks behind you which if they shoved, calling would be around 2:1. MP2 is the only real worry with SB a slight worry. And if you raise, these two guys are only going to play with you if they have something really good, so you can get away easily from a reraise or for any non-set flop or just check it down.

Folding is certainly not horrible, but I believe you are leaving chips on the table to somebody else. I think you have very good fold equity against the bigger stacks here. MP2 is comfy to watch the hand unfold and SB has quite a few stacks below him so he's not doing anything stupid.

More than I like to admit, from EP, in situations like this, I fold and invariably am thrilled I did

Perhaps you fold your 77 and watch A3 go against K10 and an A or K comes on the flop and you say wow, I would have lost. However, when you raise to enter the pot, a lot of those hands fold, so you have to take that into account.
