How do you play this - and most importantly - why?

[Laeelin]

MP3 just sat down, this is his first hand. I didn't know what to do preflop. At least the flop was easy to play.

wb, most likely a shove because mp3 will be isoing wide, also the buyin is $4

gonna say calling pf is the worst play here

That's what I was thinking about 2 seconds after calling.

It doesn't feel right to stack off with TT preflop with ~25 BB's left... but I do believe your right... I need to play some more with pokerstove..

Thanks

So much to relearn, but I expected that after coming back after that many years.

Yeah like lolzzz said its either shove or fold PF. Kind of meh either way since this is the bottom of my not snap folding range.

ya, you might know me better as triptanes

ship pre, not close, calling and folding are both really bad, I'd shove any pair. TT is ahead of top 10% and with no read there is no reason to assume he's that tight.

as played flop is close but I'd probably still shove after all the goofiness, why is it easy? This is about as good a flop as you can hope for, you can't put 1/4 your stack in hoping it comes 8 4 2 and someone has 99. I get that it's is a dry flop but basically you're worried about sets only here (and only 77/22 from all except PFRer) , most people would not slow play Qx and if they have two pair on this board good for them.

First lesson I'd start re-learning is it's OK to go broke.
