    Default Overpair, big draw, big pot, big contest.

    MP2 has had really really really hot cards and has got pretty good value out of him. He hasn't had to be tricky because he has been getting magic frops (tm).

    No real read on the CO.

    What are your thoughts on cold-calling the flop raise?

    I know the turn raise looks really bad - is a straight call here the right play, especially given that CO has gone from raising the flop to flat calling the turn?

    I like a re-raise here PF to around $6.50, especially given that you're on the button.

    As played, I like to raise CO's wimpy minraise on the flop to around $10 and then re-evaluate.

    Reraising pf here is essential

    messy. Not sure how much i like a preflop reraise. What does a 3bbs raise signify vs a 4bbs raise? If its sooted stuff and not KK/AA then yeah id repop big here bet the flop and call a push.

    i dont like the flop call because are you really going to get paid if you hit? i dont think so
