    What's your move, and if you bet out, what's your plan regarding being raised?

    I think you are most likely ahead here as I can't see CO just calling pre-flop with a PP higher than 8's (if he has a 10 then oh well bad luck). If you think CO would be then I would go for a check-push, hoping the SB calls the bet from the CO.

    I am certainly not going to be afraid to get all of my chips in here.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    The question here is really how much to bet?
    You have to be a little concerned with overcards. I think bet 200-300; get the rest in on a non ace turn. Push if raised on the flop.

    Hmmm there is something odd about CO limping with 7 BB. He pretty much has to push this flop. You could also check. There is a fair chance he has a big pair JJ+ since he clearly craves action pre-flop.

    Or he's a complete donk. You have a read on this? If he's been raising then all of the sudden limps, be cautious.
