Yes the reason for posting was to try to gauge different lines of thinking with respect to how to play this hand. I'll post the results for [censored] and giggles as it was a classic Poker Stars action hand.
For what it's worth I was deciding between a flat call and a very big raise. I don't like a small raise here at all. I decided on a flat call for some of the reasons already mentioned + a few others. One of the benefits of a flat call could be a squeeze play where a blind jams with air. Maybe an all in from a blind gets villain to fold here? I don't know? A detriment to a flat call is we allow the blinds to complete on the cheap as seen in this example.
I'd still like to get some more opinions on what you guys like to do pre flop in this spot.
