Read on villain would be very helpful obv. It's an early position raise and probably two overs so a push may be in order with no reads.

A push looks fine as a default play. If you had a good read on opponent and feel like you play well post flop, then I don't mind calling here either. I think folding is out of the question.

Def not folding. I like a call better than push here. Unless I'm very confident in my read on the player, I'm only playing to hit big here.

I push here vs a random, call vs most regulars and against a very small % of players, i would fold preflop.

If anything, villain has been fairly quiet until now; thus, no apparent reads. This in itself might be a good indication that his range is fairly tight.

I actually 3-bet here, but not all-in. I take it that was stupid; most of you would either fold, call, or push, but not re-raise? And why not?

For set value only? Do I fold or push against his c-bet if the flop is rags?
