Couple of puzzles for me last night in one hand, nothing major, but something i "struggle" with knowing the best move, so looking for opinions from better players please.
If this is basic play, then apologies!
$50"000 - Mini series last night.
Blinds 250/500. No reads on opp other than fairly tight.
I have 17k, opp has 18k. I"m in BB with 55. folded to mid position who raises 1250.
Dilemma 1 - Do I call or raise. Playing in the blinds for me is a major problem, as i never seem to know what to do. My thinking in this hand is if I re-raise, and he flats I"m out of position with a small pair, or worse he 4bets I have to fold.
If I call I"m hoping to hit a 5, if not easy to get away with. Am I thinking correctly?
