Given no specific reads. Raise or call? PS, someone posted OOP, hence the bigger PF raise.

Just call and play poker.
If the flop is low you can take a stab at it.
If you make a set and either villain has a big pair you get their stack.
If you raise you might get reraised.

No. Playing OOP 3 handed with TT sucks though.

Holla

77 or 88 I might consider calling, but im not turning TT into 22 here. I would pot that baby.

He made a 4bb+1 raise from UTG, I'm going to give him credit for a decent hand if I have no reads, and see what flops.

He made a standard PSR because of the OOP post. FTP has a bet pot button and he just mashed that. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about the strength of his hand from the $5 bet.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $1980

Hero: $1980
BB: $869

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $70, CO calls, Button calls, Hero raises to $370, BB folds, UTG+1 raises all-in $1880, 2 folds, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $1510 returned to UTG+1.

Results:
Final pot: $900

But I don't see a reason to turn TT into J4o by playing a huge pot OOP against an UTG raiser.
