Raising TO 30 or 35 is a very small raise, it is not 3/4 of the pot. There is 21 in the pot, one guy bets 12, another calls, you can raise it up to 69 here. If it had been heads up, you could raise to 57.

in my defence flip flop stated raise TO 30-35; this would be almot a 'half pot' bet (21 +12+12+12 = 57 plus the 18 to 23$ raise)

I would only make this play deep stacked, when my oppoenent has at least 200$ left; i notice the BB has 218$ pre preflop but i'm unsure as to whether villain is SB or BB.

again i wouldn't make this play every time.

I agree with 2handed on some of his sentiment; it is a marginal play but i think it turns a -ev call or push into a potential +ev; which is good poker. There is no hard and fast way to play this spot; hence the interesting thread [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

happy hunting
