The best option so far is a go'n'go IMHO.. that or calling to se a low flop to CRAI.. But here is how I decided to play this hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t8695)
BB (t12510)
UTG (t9820)
UTG+1 (t9185)
MP1 (t7520)
MP2 (t8400)
MP3 (t18015)
CO (t15980)
Button (t10911)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t700</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t1500.

Flop: (t4600) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t6495 (All-In)</font>, CO folds.

Final Pot: t11095

when doing a go and go set up stack sizes so you have a PSB for flop so therefore you should be making it like 2800-3k PF.

Ohh and for stop and going with a pair and how that sucks do you even know what a stop and go is? Anyway he would be not stop and going in the generic shoving sence like it's usually refered to as byut leading for a decent amount and seeing how the person reacts. If you never SnG with a pp than you are a player who is ignoring the best option often because of your tunnel vision and awful thought process. I'm sorry you are a break even player with marginal skills and you are def making an effort to be a winning player but saying such an awful comment as snging with a pp is bad is one of the dummber comments I've read on this board this week.

A few hands later (an orbit later) this hand happened: Reads on limper, he has limped two times and folded to a raise both times in 20 hands.

Reads on villian: Good at raising on limpers, and playing loose in LP.

To the OP, I call here...and not just for set value. I have a reasonable hand, yeah being OOP sucks but I think folding here is too weak. I don't really like re-raising b/c we are readless.

Shaun, why call here? My instinct was to push then I looked at stacks (obviously too deep for that). Call b/c we are ahead of the raiser's range and will likely have position if MP folds?

umm we have position raising turns our hand into a bluff we wouldn't mind if limper comes alone we have position on PFR he's showing str only 4xing in SB after a limper take a flop.

I'm not saying I had a better idea. Just wondering what you were thinking. What is the likelihood MP calls here (given that our call gives him better odds + position)?
