make it CO raising and it becomes more interesting imo.

yeah, but its going to require some really good postflop play. I'd only do that against an ABC player when I know there betting patterns/tendencies

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

omg, almost the same situation just happened to me, while I was reading this thread (only he had a7s).

I raised utg 3.5bb he cc..I ended up stacking him with AQ.

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

If UTG is bad, I'll call here often. I feel I'm a better postflop player than preflop player tbh, and I want to see cheap flops in position against bad players. If the blinds are loose we might end up 3 or 4 way with a NFD, which is nice.

If UTG is good, just fold. His range is tight enough, and if you catch 2flush and he catches a piece he's willing to payoff with, there's no way you'll be given the right price to draw. Obvious domination issues to worry about if you catch an ace high flop.

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

I think you need closer to 150BB, maybe 200BB to make this a profitable call.

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

UTG raises too few hands for this to be a profitable call

I often wonder about what others probably consider fairly simple/standard preflop stuff like this too.

... but I fold.

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

if the villan is really bad, or even slighty bad I might call this once in a while. if another player calls before the action comes to me I am almost always calling

Re: preflop theoretical question
 

Easy fold w/o reads. With postflop reads, I call a lot.
