    Default Just flat this?

    This is a bid dumb but I always seem to get caught in these spots where I'm torn between giving sick pot odds to people and committing too much of my stack with marginal hands. What should I do here?

    Donk lead is unknown, other 2 are fish. One guy is pretty aggressive.

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($236.15)
    UTG+1 ($200.00)
    CO ($82.00)
    Hero ($197.00)
    SB ($288.22)
    BB ($200.00)
    [UTG+1 posted $2]

    Pre-flop: ($5, 6 players) Hero is BTN
    1 fold, UTG+1 checks, 1 fold, Hero raises to $11, SB calls $10, BB calls $9, UTG+1 calls $9

    Flop: ($44, 4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets $16, $16 to Hero ($186)?

    I raise/fold here to block flush draws and make UTG+1 define his hand better. Turn is a check thru if he calls.
    Caveat: I'm not good in these situations.

    What is your image? Will donk push you off w/ air/draw?

    My image is just pretty standard TAG I suppose. The flop leader pretty much just sat so he wouldn't have a clue.

    getting my swell on
    i really dont like raising here with 2 other people in the pot, but calling really sucks too. the thing is if we raise we have to make it pretty big because its 4 way. i know this might sound stupid but i might just muck, just because i dont know what to do and i dont want to stack off with this hand.

    I would raise and get all in vs the poster

    with any kind of read I'd fold
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
