A few spots that look simple - are they?

AAroddersAA:
This section is getting a bit more use these days which is very good news. Wanted to put some hands on to help to keep it interesting and I think we all can improve our games looking through these.

I played online holdem cash for the first time for a while on the weekend. Came across this hand I am not that impressed by how I played but would like some thoughts. It is micro stakes Zoom Poker and the average player is loose/passive really, although not as bad as some people would have you believe. People generally play their hands face up and people don"t raise enough and almost never 3-bet light. I don"t expect most of them to know any of this though.

I have no read on the player in question other than the action.

What do we do here out of position (we are SB). I will give people time to respond before posting the next section at some time tomorrow.

Santino67:
Min raise utg in Zoom could be either AA, 22 or anything in between so I"m likely to fold or raise rather than call. If called, lets hope for a favourable flop  ;)

pokerpops:
Fold

Hand is vaguely playable with reads, but in rush zoom poker i doubt we have that luxury

Swinebag:
I like the 3 bet here, even without reads. A lot of players try and exploit the nittiness that goes with these games by min raising light. Fold is fine though. Call isn"t completely terrible but is the worst option by a long way.

Marty719:
Readless and oop its a fold for me. Low Broadways seem like the nut worst combos to be 3bn an utg range, esp at this level where ppl r rarely folding pre, rarely folding pairs, and have us dominated a decent amount.
