27T: Early big draw from the blind
 

Standard raise seems awkward & shoving seems like too much. What's best?

i would call here and try to hit my fd.

as played, call because your line doesn't like a FD. c/c does.

really is an odd spot, most times I'd like to get all my chips in here but that just seems like overkill and a raise to 400ish seems to commit too many chips with out a legitimate hand. I think I'd flat call.

It's not that big a draw when we might well be up against AT/JT/T8 or a badly played set (and a J completes a straight).

Call and thank him for making it so cheap to find another diamond.
