Default Re: 10/20 other side of the coin

Make it 450. I really hate all the options here.

a) Big 3-bet only gets called by KK... and some people might even muck that.

b) Cold call is bad because any Axx or Kxx flop probably kills the action (presuming villian doesn't have KK). I suppose you could stack someone if 3 rags flop... but do we want to be letting people draw to sets for cheap?

c) Folding and pushing obviously both suck too.

I like raising to 450 for a lot of reasons.

a) Dude who made it 215 is getting 3.5+:1 on this call, and isn't folding.
b) You might actually get both of them to call... which can't be bad with this much money going in preflop.
c) Set draws are getting much worse odds than if you just call.
d) If 30/15 villian calls with TT-QQ and 3 rags flop... he's gonna have an awfully hard time folding when the pot is 1000 and there's only 1500 left behind for 3 rounds of betting. At the very least, you should get 600-800 out of him unless you completely botch it.
