UTG is 35/7ish
I do not know MP.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($10.62)
Hero ($26.95)
UTG ($26.30)
MP ($16.50)
CO ($32.35)
Button ($24.30)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10. MP posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.25, MP (poster) checks, 3 folds, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.85) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $0.68, UTG raises to $1.36, MP calls $1.36, Hero calls $0.68.

I've got TP with a flush draw and backdoor straight. Thought about raising, decided to call and re-eval on turn.

Turn: ($4.93) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.25, MP raises 14.89 (allin) , Hero ???

Original plan was to C/R UTGs bet. The all-in from MP forces a change of plan. Do I instacall this?

I'd prob call fully prepared to throw something at the cat. There are worse two pairs that he'll do this with.

he may have just made his straight or tried to slowplay a set on a drawish board, but i think at 25nl, you're ahead a lot of the time here, and when you aren't, you have full house and flush outs to give you ways to win. i usually call here.

i'm not sure what to do about the fact that UTG is the one betting/raising and is left to act with more money than MP. does that change anyone's answer as opposed to if it was just MP?

You have good equity against like all hands but KdQd, so push, as calling will leave you committed against UTG anyway.
