Icky spot. My default is to raise to t475, but this may not be best. A read on the BB would be great.

I'd shove. Shoving is never bad here.

Wait, are there antes? If so shoving is good. If not I still prefer a small raise.

Guessing no antes, I'd still shove. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Raising is fineee but I just prefer to keep it simple and shove.

You are right, t555 is a non sense.

So it's t455 or push, and, yes, a push might be better.
