His 3bet is pretty small. I probably call.

The small reraise and the fact that HL didn't look at OP might be tells. If you think HL may have a big pair, fold, don't call.

I don't see how calling can be good unless you're shoving over a c-bet on every flop.

[/ QUOTE ]

we have a hand that'll hit some nice number of flops (probably around 40%) and are getting > 2:1 on the call. you can c/f every flop that misses you and the call is still not even that bad/sometimes he'll check behind when he whiffs his resteal/some other times you'll decide to make a play, get called and river a three outer. it's not like seeing a flop is the worst thing in the world and/or we have something entirely unplayable, and it's also not like we particularly love shoving. see a freaking flop and check dark (but don't say you are), it won't kill you.

also, if we open limp ATs here solely because we're terrified of Lederer, we're probably getting destroyed, too.

I don't think this is an unexploitable shove or anything. I think that it's a good shove against someone who's at least half competent and thinks we're some random live player.

Ummm... we have position? Which obviously helps the case for calling, but just mentioning it because it appears you think we're first to act post-flop, which we aren't.

what do you mean terrified of Lederer? I think i'm the only one that suggested it, so it feels like you're putting words in my mouth. If action from the previous hands shows we're likely to get played back at, when we don't want to see a reraise (even if we can call one profitably, just doesnt seem like efficient building of the pot), I don't see how we're getting 'destroyed' by open limping.

edit: if lederer was the button, i'd like open limping much less.
