1st post incoming... accepting format critiques

Hero$400: Folded to us UTG + 2 with 9

Raise to $12 (my standard) one call by loose MAWG. Woman in HJ makes it $60 with $58 behind. CO-BB fold.

Hero's action?

MAWG: claims to be stuck $700. Has $185. limps most of his range. Max open from him has been $10.

Woman: Seen her around. Competent. Not much for other info or reads.

tell me if this is a **** thread, posting because it was the decision I pondered most on the drive home.

Fold imo. This is never a bluff so you're flipping or dead.

Fold. 3bettor put in half of her stack; limited odds vs. other V.

Is this $1/$2 or $1/$3 NL?

Welcome to the forum, OP. Nice first post.

I agree with my esteemed colleagues above.

I would fold. I'm not a fan of 6x opens.

Also agree that folding is best. If you're determined not to fold raising>>>calling as villain is almost never leaving $58 on the table. Very small chance you're up against AKs, mostly you're up against QQ+. Probably more like exactly KK or AA. As others started, there's no odds to call.

Fold>>>raise>>>>>>>>>call. Taking a c/f line is setting money on fire so much that you should just fold and hand her $50 after the hand.

Fold. Reconsider your read on Villain (woman).

With a competent villian this is never a bluff you might be against 2 overs or you are behind a bigger pair so I say fold. Hard to imagine A8 suited or 88 making this move but I suppose it's possible and all villians can spaz. Hopefully MAWG calls and you get to see a showdown.

Sadly the room I play at 6x is "average" it usually falls between 4x-10x. I chose 6x sizing because it will go 5 to the flop 9/10 times with 3.5x or under.
