Fold against an unknown imo

That is such a weird line from SB - limp-3bet is normal from UTG but from the SB with only one active player who can check behind it's just plain weird.

I fold, it's too fucking odd.

what bugs me is this can just as easily mean Q4o as it could AA/KK from my experience.

Maybe I should pokerstove what we need his range to be before we could shove, but I'd have to wait until I'm home.

On a side note, pf raise is too small I think you'll agree

I made it $5.50 to go, dunno why the converter says I made it $4.50. Maybe cos I had already put the blind in so typed in 4.50. Whatever, $5.50 is uber standard no?

Ah I see, I thought it was a bit odd because it isn't what I'd expect from you.

Sometimes I make it $5.50, sometimes $6, either is fine imo

As a rule.

When a guy makes a play prelfop that makes me think there is no way this guy should have a monster here, what the hell is he trying to represent I will see he has AA.
The thing is he just has AQ/AJ/total bluff so rarely here that we are looking at a pair and I dont think even 88 folds after putting this much in so we are hoping to race and often dominated. I fold.
