any reads? what do you think this guy would be raising to 250 with?

your stack is smaller than it usually is with the blinds still so low so i would lean more towards pushihng but i would also like to see what others say.

The type of people who you should be shoving over dont usually bluff raise over limpers, close but I think its probably a fold.

I would just fold here. Your only going to flop a set, what 12% of the time. Play this same scenario out ten times and it's certainly -EV. It will end up being 5BB donated more than likely and you still have people behind that may just come over the top.

Too early to flip coins at this level. Villain could have wide range and you will be playing oop after flop.

Nice Fold.

Fold, a raise after limpers is usually pretty tight, push like TT+ imo.

The fact that the guy correctly sized his raise means this is an easy fold.
