UTG calls t100 (pot was t150), UTG+1 raises to t300, 4 folds,


UTG +1 is an idiot, but is there any reason to get involved here?

With a decent read against the right kind of idiot I have no problem looking at a flop, but there is no need to get involved otherwise.

Basically it's a fold unless you have a good reason not to.

what if he is a POW? The only problem in these turbo's is you really can't make "informational" bets because most of your stack will be in the pot by the time you get the info... what do you do if you hit an A on the flop? I have a decent amount of chips but I will be out of position for the whole hand.


BLAH!!!

STT/MTT/45 player sng?
I probably preserve my chips and muck. Try and keep more for the time where it's shove/fold.

Stay out of this hand. Hard to know where you are at oop with AJo. You can lose a lot of money here.

bolded part keeps me out of this pot. if utg recognized utg+1 as an 'idiot', he could be planning to go over the top of the anticipated raise.
