Villain had been splashing around quite a bit and had pretty laggy stats, somewhere in the 30/20 range. If I had raised in earlier position and gotten repopped, it would be a clear fold, but this felt murkier to me. Fold anyway?

[Diamond Lie]

Based on your read, and the fact he is in SB this feels like a blatant attempt to re-steal your initial raise.

I think your initial raise committed you to a push here. If you fold, your stack size is seriously injured. I think I make a stand here given the circumstances.

[FeNeF]

Uhm. Close. I think I fold, unless the guy has done anything really boneheaded or has 3bet often.

JJ is going in though.

EDIT: On second thoughts, maybe it's a shove. Really, it's so close it probably doesn't matter what you do as long as it's not smoothcall.

Is TT an standard 3 bb openraise from bu at blinds 25/50?

Until now i still limp them for set value, am i wrong?

[Diamond Lie]

I limp TT for set value most of the time as well. I might raise it from CO or the button later if the blinds were high enough and I had a better read on my opponents.

LAG = Push!

You have a top 5% hand from the button and you need chips. Raise it up, playing for set value in level 3 on the button when it is folding to you is absolutely weak-sauce.

BTW - This is coming from one of the biggest nits around...just ask diamondlie...

[misternils]

I should probably fold, and wait for a better spot. I don't agree with Diamond Lie here. I don't think your raise has committed you to do a push here.

This is the way i should play in theory, but I think it would be a fairly good chance I would take a shot here and shove.

Probally on top range of what I am willing to fold. If hes been laggy bad, I will gamble it up.
