Default A good problem to have

Villain is a 42/13 fishy.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $439.90
UTG+1: $1271.40
CO: $673.20
Button: $406
Hero: $439.60
BB: $394

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($16, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $12</font>, BB folds, CO calls, Button folds.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($40, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $33</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $75</font>, Hero raises to what?

If I was deeper, or shallower, it seems like an easy decision one way or another. But this stack size is a bit awkward.
I've got a little under $400 behind, and while any real raise seems to commit me, a shove might chase him off some hands I want to call...

So, whats the play?

Anybody think calling is a viable option?

First instinct was to reraise, but now I think call and check call the river.

I like soah's line here given that you're OOP and can extract some xtra funds on a blank rvr. Had you been in position then a raise looks more attractive.

It feels like a draw at first but he raises the turn so small. I guess he has 44 alot here, but I also think hands like AA-QQ, big draws are possible but the small raise and wait for turn to do it makes me kind of suspicious. And 42/13 fish are usually somewhat passive. And so his range is wide for limping preflop, but I dont think he would play T4, J4 preflop.

But yeah, I think his range is big draws which I think raises flop more than they take this line -- JJ TT 44 I think very likely here. AA-QQ somewhat yeah, jsut doesn't feel like an overpair taking this line, but you never know. Considering all this I think soahs line is best.

He's a fish, who knows.

Jx, 34, J4, J3, T4. and probably a bunch of draws.
