Default TT early in 4/180

Guys,

Wondering if some of the folks with some 4/180 experience could advise me what to do in this hand. Early on, and no real reads. I'm thinking it's an easy fold but wondering if there's enough trash shown in the 4/180s to suggest a call might be okay?

Thanks

UTG+1 (t1550)
MP1 (t640)
MP2 (t1380)
Hero (t1540)
CO (t800)
Button (t3180)
SB (t1310)
BB (t1445)
UTG (t3135)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t60</font>, Hero calls t60, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t800</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls t740, Hero?

often it depends on if CO is on tilt. countless times at low stakes i see someone lose a pot and push with trash-marginal hands right after

so what i want to know is, how did CO get to 800, how active has MP2 been...

Edit: forgot u said no reads, so i took out that question

Fold Fold Fold. IMO this is an easy fold. The important thing for me is not that CO has moved in for 40*BB but that MP2 has only called. He has 1380 yet only calls 800. That is very suspicious and looks 2 me like he wants to drag someone else into the pot.

fold. Also instafold AK/JJ.

This might also be a spot to fold QQ because MP2's line is pretty scary here.

am I the only one who thinks this you could call this? it is 4/180, these players are donkeys. CO obviously doensīt have anything and is pushing because he has gotten short, if I would be against only CO I would call immeadiately. MP2īs call little worries me. But he might also see that CO is desperate and calls with his AQ, maybe even worse hand and is hoping to get lucky. I think you are against trash from CO and two overcards from MP2.

umm I stick it in everytime here. These players aren't high enough level thinkers to ever be like call her to get other guy to come along. If they do it was the right move for the wrong reasons most likely.
