    Obviously the only hand I am fearing is a set, but wouldnt he raise a PP pre considering hes on the button and its only 4 handed. What do you do?

    Cant really see folding top two in a four handed 25nl game. If I had a strong read on the guy maybe but you see so much crazy shit in these games I move in here. He could easily have a draw, 8x, worse two pair or an overpair. I've seen AA enough times in this spot too.

    i dont much like raising here, i think call and re evaluate on the turn is better. if he bets out strong on a blank turn i think we can just fold. if he checks behind on a blank turn we're good. we can also possibly bluff him off of the best hand if one of many scare cards come on the turn, just call and play some poker.

    Problem is we are out of position and out hand is strong but vulnerable. I don't really want to let him see the turn and then offer him a free river as well. The pot is already big and villain will likely call a flop shove with a worse hand anyway.

    easy push. We dont want to give villain free cards in this situation. I dont know how aggro he is betting draws, but i see this as a 8x type hand more than anything.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.
