calls or raises, and why? I know it's hard to say without a read, but whats standard here?

[Spinners]

I think the standard line here is a flat call. If I had a 6 or a 10 in my hand I would raise (obv q).

[Jay Riall]

Raise is probably standard, but calling is definitely good seeing as you keep lower fds in, have position, pot is big already etc. I guess raising is only obviously better if you think they can fold a Q often.

I agree

[PartysOver]

i like raising, you get Tx out, some Qx out (depending on player obv) and get enough money in so that when you hit you can get stacks in

i go to $33 and fold to poosh... i then check behind on (nearly) every turn and push rivers if our hand is improved (A or d)

jay -lower fd's will stay in lol

edit/ nothing wrong with calling here either... good spot to be in

[gimmetheloot]

stacks can get in very easily with no raise.

the pot on turn will be ~50$ and hero will have 83~ behind.

OP, Im inclined to just flat it here often.

Whaaaaat? Fold to a push?

If this were HU, I'd probably just pop it...but the fact that there are possibly other FD's and straight draws, I like calling and letting them come along here.

I like just calling. UTG raiser leads into two players, he prob doesnt have anything worse than AQ/KQ. We are getting pretty good odds to call.
