Best Play?

[Daemon10 0]

The game we play is NLHE .25/.50 but it plays like 50/1 if not high we have a max 40 buy in min 20 till mdnight in which it goes to a max of 80 or whatever the table allows.I bought it for 40 and had it up to 270ish and we were 5 handed at my table, with the next biggest stack at around 180 and the rest around 100. I had the button with 1010. UTG bets 3.50, next to act raises to 13.50. Do I flat here? Or should I go ahead and raise??? UTG was the 180 stack?Im just wondering which is the best play, and how strong 10's are on average in this position with it being 5 handed?

This. UTG raise, UTG+1 raise this is just a fold. I'd even consider folding QQ here unless.

Meh. It's the worst trouble hand we can hold in this spot. Hate folding, but we're 80% to be behind at least one of the hands in play.

yeah, it depends on the makeup of the game. Ive played in home games with nits and home games with internet kids, so like all poker decisions, it depends on the villains

I am flatting! Home game (usually weak players), we are super deep, easily have both covered. Getting that 180 stak by hitting trips is just too appealing when we are that deep.But if I miss on the flop, I am pretty much instafolding.

His description has a bunch of people building up stacks of several buy ins and a raise utg then a 3 bet from utg plus 1. Nothing in that says weak players.Calling here is ugly depending especially on UTG's stack size and a read on whether he'll come over the top.

Missed that. Thought is was close to FR. TT is still a fold.

Home game randoms are usually weak, yes. However an UTG open and re-raise right behind him is not weak. Plus both are up multiple buyins. Besides flat calling just to set-mine he is bad. With that logic calling with 22+ is correct. Besides, just because you catch a set does not mean you are going to stack your opponent for even 50BB. And these villains are 200 and 390BBs deep.

What was utg's stack size?I probably 4 bet qq small ($25) and fold to a shove from the 180 stack. Need to know utg stack and any possible reads on how the players play.

I 4bet both hands above. Maybe flat. Those hands are tough to fold here 5 handed. If it was full ring then it would be an easy muck. AA, KK I 4betQQ I probably end up flattingFold everything else. Even AKs and JJ

Alright next question, does our play change if its say, 4 handed?? Or 3?? When do 1010, JJ increase, or is it a fold even 4 handed?

How people play is as important as the number of people in the hands. 3 handed, yeah I think I'm flatting this 3 bet or making a 4 bet if the rhythm of how everyone's playing is right for it. You play with these guys a lot? Take mental note when they make moves like this so you can assign a range of hands they'll do that with, then adjust your play accordingly.Good to be adjusting to number of people at the table too, though, you're right about that.

When it gets to 4 handed I flat call with 1010+
