Raise of Fold ?

[luizmarinho]

UTG Pocket Pairs 77 Single table 9 players turbo (5 left) blinds Level V (150/75) Hero 3865 chips (25 bb). Raise or fold ?

 

[xastaria]

all in in my opinion....but if other players are very tight then fold.....

 

[Alexandru24]

Why allin? There are no antes. I don't think it's worth risking 25bb for 1,5bb. I think min raise it's ok. In a 5 handed case you're probably in 1st place.

min raise and see what happens
if they 3bet you fold
post flop c-bet,semi bluff
if you hit a 7 in flop you can check for value

 

[Esanu]

In this position, I fold .

 

[onondaga]

raise is the good choice. but without calling re-raise) only when reraise is from BB who want to defence his chips, imao

 

[rock0001]

i think you should raise 3 bb and then shove or fold if villain makes a 3 bet raise.

 

[Poker Orifice]

more solid evidence that tournament play is hugely +ev

 

[joker131]

unless your willing to put your game on the line from a reraise fold. your only playing to take the blinds. but a mid range pair with 5 left is not a bad hand to shove your chips

 

[hffjd2000]

I fold.

I have a healthy stack and would not like to gamble or risk much.

I am not desperate at this point.

I can't believe all the responses that recommend either folding or pushing all in. I am raising this 2.5-3x every single time. If you face a reraise, you either fold or 4bet depending on the opponent and their stack size.
You have plenty of chips left to play poker after the flop. If things do not go as planned you should be able to get away from the hand with somewhere between 17-22 BB remaining.

Yep I totally agree with Mug here...
Stack sizes of the other players is very important here you need a bigger screenshot so we can see them.
Five handed 77 is a strong hand so no way I'm folding, as there are no antes open shoving isn't profitable enough so I'd min raise or 2.5x here depending on how tight the BB is..
The standard play is to raise/fold if 3bet depending on the player and his stack size.
If a short stack 3bets you putting in more than a third of his chips then they are committed so fold.
If you get 3bet small by someone who's deeper and in position but you could cripple them, then a 4 bet jam is an option, you have FE and you are slight fav flipping with the higher card combos and you shouldn't call a 3bet with this hand oop with this stack size with a hand that doesn't flop well like 77.
If called on dry flops as you are utg you have a stronger perceived range and should get a ton of folds with a standard continuation bet.

Agreed with everything, but wouldn't check for value, would keep c-beting with small amount..

Not sure why but if the guy behind me keep calling or check-raise is a trigger for me to run away from it.

First of all your picture is too small,you should use gyazo to post picture.Also not much info.I would say fold.

 

[BogdanStark]

Why all-in? You can make 2-3 bb raise and saw opponent reaction.
If tight player call - be careful, if re-raise all-in you need to fold. Very easy.

 

[Kelly60]

With 7 7 I need good implied odds so UTG I would more than likely fold, but if I knew the opponents stack sizes and had some info on how they play I might chance a min raise or 2.5 X and retreat to any resistance. I definitely wouldn't go all-in or raise too high you might force a short stack with 2 high cards to go all-in, the bubble is close and you are in good shape for it, a flip for a large portion of your stack just isn't worth the risk to steal only 6% of your stack.

More info would be good luizmarinho. Is it possible to output a text hand history from Universal Replayer?

 

[PokerFunKid]

I can't see the stacks from your opponents but i asume they aren't all short, but if they are shove. 5 handed i would minraise. You have to many big blinds to shove even if there were antes. Fold is out of question imo.

mini-rase and if 3bet go all in
