c/ Fold.

[Garth Kay]

I raise here to $31

[Swanky]

Raise, make it $50.

[AceLosesKing]

Wait till you see the answer - fwiw I think it's correct, but the reasoning is all wrong.

[Swanky]

Raise, make it $50.

I hear Garth ask why?

MY REASON

Man am I gonna get so much mileage out of that!

[maccatak11]

I think i raise/fold here. I'd raise to about $30, but if he ships it then i think i have to fold. He would shove with nothing other than sets or AK (we can prob discount JT UTG, but it is 6-max).

So yep, i think i raise/fold. Garth/old man Swanky, what are you doing if he shoves our raise? I think if he flatsour raise ill prob get confused and try and get to showdown as cheaply as possible.

Am i the only one who would consider flating? Not saying I would, but depending on what read you have you could lay a trap here. If i raise, I would make it $38.

Was my first instinct, to trap for the turn.

+1 to this, didn't have time to elaborate.

I hate raise folding though.

I think a flat works as well. You do have position and can elaborate on later streets.

Nits ITT.
