$198/Effective

8 players see the flop and I have 33 in the HJ. Flop comes 364 with two clubs. UTG bets $7 and is called by a MP player. I make it $30 and the BTN goes all in for $196. The table just opened and we are on hand 5 or 6 so I don’t really have a read yet. He was older and had his chips stacked nice and neat. Folded around to me, can I call?

I don't know I hate limped pots which I'm assuming this is. I also hate playing 22-55 passively.

I love this statement!

You are American, right?
Or Canadian. Which is basically the same thing.

This guy has a straight, just fold. If he doesn't have a straight, he has a set. This is hardly even two pair or an over pair on a 346ccx flop and guys that fit his desc don't usually play draws like this. Those players have sloppy messy stacks and they're younger.

Against an unknown make a tight fold. There has been a fair bit of interest in this pot and the button still shoved. A straight or a set are the most likely hands, you lose to all of them. If he does have a draw he has reasonable equity. Your having the bottom set is what makes this a fairly easy fold, with 66 I would go with it against an unknown unless villain felt really tight. 44 depends on what I feel about villain, given the play and description I probably find a tight fold.

Id fold and feel fine about it. Limped pot, you raised and he three bet jams? So few players are doing this with an overpair or flush draw at these stakes.

You might as well flip a coin. Sometimes they will be capable of having 2 pair, pair plus flush draw, combo draw, pair plus combo draw, etc. Sometimes they will always have you beat.

For sure call 44+.
