Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7:diamond:, 7:club:.
Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T:heart:, T:club:, 9:spade: (3 players)
BB bets, MP1 folds, BB calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 2:club: (2 players)
BB bets, Hero ???

Any thoughts?

Zach

why raise preflop?

don't call turn.

Well, I thought I had read in another thread that 77 UTG was a raise, but now that I go back and check it, I was wrong. :oops:

Either way, I folded the turn.

It's a raise in some games, a limp in others.

Limp in if you can be assured 5-6 way action, or if raising won't limit the field to 3 or less.

I raise it people don't cold-call a whole lot, a tend to respect my UTG raises.

lol... I'm playing the .5/1 BEGINNER tables on Party.. nobody respects any raises, let alone UTG raises. Strangely however, I managed to only get 2 callers here.
