Default Re: 79 suited in the big blind, I felt priced in here

calling is absurd here anyway you want to slice it. My motives may be askew here but betting is the only smart choice here.

Again, nobody's said anything about calling anywhere. That said, if you check and there's only 1-2 players left when the action is to you, or the player on your immediate right bets, then calling > raising.

As to betting, if you've decided your motives are askew how can your line be "the only smart choice"? You're not betting to win the pot, for reasons already stated, and if you bet and the action DOES go fold-raise-fold-fold after you, then you're not betting for value, either. Really, anything more than one fold makes your value-bet pretty thin.

Now I have to go line some soccer fields.
