Default Re: 88 UTG in 12/180

I like a raise to 320 here, fold to a push. Ideally, I'd like to fold out all hands up to the SB or BB, have one of them make a weak call, and then cont. bet the flop without killing my stack too badly. Of course, if I get all unders, I'm cont. bet and praying for a repush. Limping is OK too, but making plays for set value at 25BB from UTG is icky.

Just because you are receiving 2:1 doesn't mean that you want to relinquish a strong resteal stack here at 100/200 by making a call whereas you either flip or you are WB. Pot odds here do not supersede other considerations. With 1010, I raise to 450 and call a push. You can let this one go and feel fine about it.

Barry
