There's a lot of options... I don't like just calling, because if you get an AK flop, you're not going to feel comfortable. It's an option, but one I only use maybe once in ten I'm in a situation like this...

I tend to base it on my opponent more than anything. If it's an aggressive Opp... I might actually OVERBET here, trying to rep a blind steal, and then check the flop if I get action. It's a ballsy play, but I give my opponent the chance to "resteal" from me.

The other option to make it look like a steal is a min bet. The problem with that is, you're actually giving odds to crack your hand. Not great odds, but Opp will be getting 2-1, and with any over, that's enough.

Or, you can make the nice safe play and do a standard 3-4BB raise.

Lots of options. All have thier merits.

Pending read from BB, if he's tight, raise. Loose just call. No read, raise anyways. Raise at 240 (4xBB and almost 10% of his chips).

it is better to win a small pot then lose a big one.

I dont like limping here and getting worried about the BB floping 2 pair junk.

I beleive this hand is really no good here for action. If I limp and have to showdown.. Ill be the guy who limped Q Q . If I raise .. I get a fold possibly. If I get called with 1 or two overs.. Iam screwed maybe. I like the min raise BEST !

MIN RAISES SUCK........ make a normal raise and play the hand

I swear you have the words min raise filtered on here. Trikflow you get sent an alert email when someone uses those two words in their post dont you? Alright Alright. no min raising.

better to limp than min raise. Just raise. If you don't raise with QQ here, you can't raise A8 either.
