Hey everyone, could someone please help me out with this hand. I need to know if my call was justified here. I considered his call to 3-bet range from out of position and hence called his shove. His weird bet sizing gave me the impression he was a clueless fish, was I right to raise? Will be very thankful to any and all who reply

lol, wft is UTG doing??? :p. I would be very suspicius when he raises all-in. Donks love to play this way with strong hands sometimes. They are not concerned about getting value or being outdrawn.

I think raising him on the turn is a mistake, instead just call him. I mean raising doesn't make much sense unless you think he is a super mega fish who make this kind of play with worse hands and then still call you when you are playing back at him.

I like the way this hand is played until Hero raises turn. I think we need to raise for value and protection. Villains line looks weird but without reads I think the right move is to fold against the turn re-raise.

It's ok to raise OTT. Sometimes they do this with weak hands and draws. But after his re-raise you should fold. You are always beated in this spot.

I like the raise OTT. We should think twice here when play for stack. We follow Baluga. Fold all less than top 2p.

I really think that we should raise this min bet but fold to a re-raise. Min-bet/Raise is a strong line.

Turn raise is ok but I would fold to a re-raise.
