This is from the same session with the same villain as my previous post:

Ultimate Bet
No Limit Hold'em - $0.25/$0.50 blinds

Important Stacks
Villain (UTG): $70
Hero (MP1): $135

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#CC0000">UTG raises to $4.50</font>, 3 folds, Hero???

At the time, I think I was tilty, but now I feel like this is a simple implied odds call to see the flop, right?

He massively overbets his small pair OOP.

hes raising so BIG! what hands do this. i was thinking about this kind of hand earlier today and think only a hand that doesnt want action (TT or less) does this. but calling is the right move i think.

normally i think he shows you with his bet, that he dont want to get called with his hand... small PP imo
but according to your post before, where he shows strength with a big hand and his big bets it might be a premium hand...

Whatever you do, do NOT fold.
