Default 1010 facing a raise from big stack

Mid way through a party $30. blinds 100-200. Villain has been active but not out of line. He makes it 600 from utg+1. I have 1010 in MP+2 and 4k behind. What does me do?

I just call here because of your awkward chip stack. If you have less (maybe <34k) its a push and if you have more (>55k) you can make a raise and then maybe fold to a push. If you make a raise here u might as well go all in but you will usually only get action from AK and JJ-AA and maybe AQ and you do terribly against that range.

So I call and look to figure it out after the flop. In a $30 a person usually adjusts there Cbet according to how strong they are and you should be able to read it decently well.

Call. You'll have position on the original raiser after the flop. It's not so bad to have another caller either after you as they will probably call with paint (hopefully not a pair) and you can get paid off if you flop a T.

Raising with intent to fold to a 4 bet in these situations is bad

So what do u do if u have a real deep stack with tens against an utg+1 raiser? Is calling for set value really the best way to play tens whith 30-60bb?

i don't play exclusively for set value. My action depends on the future action and the board.
But if you raise and fold to a 4-bet, you're turning your hand into a bluff, especially against someone who will 4-bet AK and AQ here preflop (hint: everyone 4-bets AK here).

Everyone 4 bets AK in a $30 multi? I think a lot of ppl wont even make a reraise with AK in a $30 because "its a drawing hand". Also you arent really turning it into a complete bluff because there is a good chance a short stack might call with 77+. Also the utg+1 raiser might just call you with a variety of hands thinking u have aa or kk and then fold to a cbet if they miss flop.
