    Default $33 ITM check raise button raise/C-bet with OESD - standard?

    Villian had been stealing relentlessly from the button. I am thinking this standard, but want to make sure there wasn't a better line.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t6080)
    Button (t5725)
    SB (t1695)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 9, 8.
    Button raises to t700, 1 fold, Hero calls t500.

    Flop: (t1250) J, T, 6 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets t1200, Hero raises to t5355
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    The check raise might get some added value from missed cbets, but right now you don't want to clash with the bigstack (even if you are ITM). I think I'd rather just lead the flop and fold to any resistance rather than risking my whole stack

    It sucks against a LAGG player like this, but personally I'd rather find a place to re-steal rather than call and play this hand OOP. If he had folded to raises previously I actually wouldn't mind shoving this preflop since you have a ton of FE. Standard play without a solid read would be to fold however.

    As played, I agree with fjuanl, I lead the flop for 700 or so and fold if he raises.
