I have been very active at this live $1/2 table. there has been lots of straddling and I have raised MANY of these straddles (always with reasonable hands).
OK so the UTG player straddles for $5 off of ~$180
I am UTG+1 with and I make it $20 off of $450 (I have learned previously that only raising the straddle to $15 results in about 5-6 callers lol).
MP calls off about $350 and the straddler calls. all other players fold.
POT $63
flop
straddler checks I Cbet $40. MP folds and the straddler check raises to $80. He has about $80 back and now the pot contains $183
what is our best move? normally facing a check raise TPTK is a great calling hand....esp in position. but I feel with the stack to pot ratio and the amount of draws available (2 open enders, flush draws and some combo draws) that we can just take our equity now and get it in.
thoughts?
