preflop is big spew.

I'm really not sure why you would do anything besides instamuck vs utg here.

Some sort of level? I think folding is clearly the worst option preflop. Reraising or calling depends on reads (UTG positionally aware?), chance of getting squeezed, etc.. If you think his range is so tight you can't play your hand for value then it's an obvious call for set odds alone since that range is going to pay off. Otherwise, you obviously just play your hand for its value.

I'd normally just call preflop. Either way you have to fold the flop.

getting squeezed at nl100 does not happen enough for this pf play to be correct... call preflop and if someone squeezes then good for them. as played this is an instafold.

Yeah. Call's better against most preflop. Check back flop and fold as played.

3-betting this hand OOP vs an UTG raiser is terrible

Edit: ok maybe not terrible, but not near optimal imo

We're in position casper.

Preflop is sooooo gross versus anyone with a 12pfr. They're more than likely raising &lt; 5% of hands from UTG. If the players behind me were solid, I'd fold this all day long no regrets. As it stands call, if three way play for set value. If HU with some reads you can start floating or even playing for a cheap showdown on the right flops, but it's not necessary.
