Was at a local casino on the weekend, and was faced with an interesting (or possibly standard to most of the people here) decision.

I'm MP1 with AsJs.. UTG1 open limps... I bump it upto 10 (standard pfr that got respect at the table). CO calls, folded to UTG1 who calls (He's the unknown who literally just sat down).

Flop comes 5s8h9s. UTG1 checks, I bet 20... CO folds... UTG1 bumps it upto 55.

Online I would be tempted to call here IP (assuming 100bb deep)... but I feel by calling I'm pretty much commiting myself only sitting 50bb deep.

What do some of you do next? What are some additional things I should be looking for here?

Assuming $100 stacks there is nothing you can do here but go allin. Calling is terrible and folding is worse.

Think UTG+1 is tight? I'd really have to put him on a set here to even think about folding. However, his bet sizing is just begging for a call.

I would go all-in.
I don't hate a call and I think folding sucks unless you're certain this is a set farmer.

edit: Even if he's tight/passive this is hard to let go as he'll play medium to bigish pocket pairs like this.

Fnord, according to lemon's post, I don't think he had a great read on villain ie. one hand

Raise>Call>Fold

Unless villain has a pair of aces beat, you're 50/50. There's no way I'm narrowing the range this much after one hand, unless the guy is twitching like crazy.

Why are the werewolves more important than living life?!

Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?
