Default Re: Big raise, fold or insta-shove?

I don't care for the PF call, you're OOP against an UTG raiser. The fact that you got lost in this spot is a great argument for just dumping it PF. As played, I guess I'd raise the dumbass minbet from the SB, since it is a value raise against the SB and if UTG stays in then we can just dump the hand. As played, you have to fold here, although you don't really know where you are. Calling here sucks because your hand sucks, your OOP, and you have a lot of chips left. At least if you raised SB's bet then if UTG reraised or even call you could feel good about mucking the hand later, but here UTG could have anything. I mean look at it from his perspective. I raised UTG and the 2 donks in the blinds called. Then, a silly looking flop comes, 1 bet's 1/12 pot and the other calls...screw these fish I'm raising. That being said, you still can't call the raise because it's a long dark road you'll be going down.

good points everyone... I made this thing much more complicated than it should have been. I'm actually really embarrassed that I posted it, usually I'm not so naive.
What I ended up doing was kicking my laptop across the room and timed out. Ya I folded. I think I got bluffed out, but I was just so pissed that I didn't think it through correctly. Thanks for the input.

Why fold preflop?

I would raise the small blinds bet out and insta muck to the original raisers raise

Terribly played hand.

First off, fold preflop.

Since you did call, raise flop. If UTG 3-bets, easy fold.

As played, you should fold.

Preflop call is fine. Raise flop first time cause you don't want to induce bluffs/raises w/ worse hands from the PFR unless you already know that you're happy getting it in. Fold is prob correct, if you had like 1600, I'd get it in.
