If you are so convinced he is making a play then calling seems fine as long as you make it $75 on most flops and c/r the others. Are you convinced?

He's in position, so neither of these would be possible.

My bad. I read it as he was the SB.

Calling is ok if he c-bets always. Raising is fine if you plan on felting. Folding seems best in a generic form.

I am not convinced but i think that given the situation this would be a spot for him to make a play. Also i think he views me as a tag and might let go hands SOME hands that are beating me or 50/50 with me

Re: 88 i wanna make a play
 

It's a big gamboool. He must notice you are UTG so chances decrease a little that he is 3b'ing light. Push if you wanna make a move (as long as you are pushing other stuff here in this spot).

Re: 88 i wanna make a play
 

what are you running at and why is this a squeeze? I don't think he is given no reads or history . . .

Re: 88 i wanna make a play
 

i am prolly like 20/15 ish he is a pretty agro tag. The guy in the middle is a cc moron who is running like 50/10 or something, sop i thought that him cc would encourage bb to squeeze or rr hands like AQ/99+ or whatever, hands that he may fold to a push.

He's probably not squeezing an UTG 20/15 raiser even with the donk in the SB with a range that your a fav over.

And shoving here is terrible. If you get into the mind set that a thinking player is squuezing you just b/c a moron has cc you are probably gonna find yourself dropping buyins. This obv becomes a diff. hand if you are raising from CO/btn, but even then I'd much rather jam 910s or Axs than 88 . . .

I would only re-raise if I had a really good reason to think villian is squeezing and it would be an AI re-raise aswell.
