Cash game at Gala leeds - 1 & 1 table, most of the table has been there all night, one table splits and two of us join this game (including me) Couple of big stacks and well known faces. Got some information on my villain who 3 bets me. Generally plays pretty good, he called a 3 bet with 5 4 off and floated on a flop and took it down on the turn. Pretty relaxed, hes munching on some chicken wings as we play the hand.

SB and BB post, straddle to £2 (+1).

I start the hand with £143

Im sat in mid position (+3) and look down at  Jd Jh

I raise to £11 - table is pretty active, alot of loose calls, average stack is roughly 130, with 2 big stacks, one with around £600, the other with about £400. In this hand they are UTG +1 and UTG.

One guy comes along for £11, new player, dont have much info on him, literally only played a handful of hands.

UTG - the big stack, asks how much i have behind, and 3 bets to £43. No callers round to me. Im sat in a conservative way, dont want to risk much of my stack.

Obviously i have one guy to act after me. I have two options here i think? i 4bet shuv, or fold? Can i justify flat calling in this position? pretty pointless.

Just after some thoughts from some more experienced players.

His range from the straddle is gng to be wider than normal so I"m likely to get it in vs capable villains, but its opponent dependant and depends on various factors such as ur image.

From those comments it would seem like you already made up your mind.  4th best starting hand though so a difficult spot; I"m far from an experienced cash game player but I think there are many that would shove and hope.  Would also be interested to see what the experts say though........

disclaimer: I am a bit of an eejit

If anyone asks me what I have behind before he 3 bets 33% of my stack I am shoving his sorry butt - but that"s just me  ;D

deanp27:
depends on the dynamic but as described and as a fellow defender of the straddle i am dwelling for a while before wagering my stack.

Don"t really care about the person to act behind because i am never flatting.
