Hi All
Help me with this please. Hand I am trying to work out you should do. The game is a $4.50 180 man on Pokerstars, the problem is we have no real info on out opponent which is why it is not easy to properly say what is right or wrong we are basically in a vacuum.
Table is nine handed
Blinds: 25/50
15 Minute Levels
Our Chip Stack: 6570
Opponents Stack: 2635
We are on the button.
Opponent is in MP
We are dealt: 8h 9h
It folds to our opponent in this hand who makes it 150 to go
It then folds to us
With very little info to go on I am going to fold here. Does anybody agree or disagree and can you explain why please. Am I missing a spot here. I will post my thinking later when I have written it up as well.

If you raise, how often does he re raise pre?
Is it not worth re popping it to about 400. I reckon he flats and then you take control, in position, as the aggressor, you are free to fire away at most boards?
AMRN:
With a hand that plays the flop so well, is it not worth flatting in position, keeping the pot small enough to make bluffs affordable post flop?

Not 100% sure tbh, are we deep enough for that? It feels like a fold to me but I can"t justify why calling is bad.
hi_am_chris:
think flatting gives you more options, seems kinda fancy play syndrome to start reraise barreling this early? Flatting in position we can fold cheaply on disgusting flops, we can float the flop bet the turn some of the time and god forbid we could actually flop big. Feels like a waste to fold a hand like this on the button 50 bb"s" deep?
