BB has about $260. Hero has $320. SB has $750.

UTG straddles. UTG1 and UTG2 call. Hero wants to raise to $30, but accidentally put down $40. SB calls. BB reraises to $140. Folded to Hero...what should Hero do here?

Based on couple of hours of play with them, both SB and BB seems recreational, tight and straightforward. Hero doesn't think BB is capable of squeezing with bluffs here but really is not sure...Plus, Hero doesn't know what SB can do here. SB could call Hero's raise and 4-bet with hands like AK, JJ or QQ.

In words, $40 is a big raise already. Hero doesn't like to play an allin pot against such two tight players.

Pretty trivial fold for me against someone described as recreational / tight / straightforward. Once and a while we're flipping at best (with a little dead money), but mostly we're destroyed, and hardly ever destroying.

Seems like a fold to me. Avg rec should be like JJ+ pretty easily here.

Well in that case unless you think there are smaller pocket pairs out there then this is a fairly trivial fold. Then again you started the hand less than 50BB deep and made it nearly 7x and you have a big pair yourself, so it can't be bad shrug to get the money in, but if your read is correct don't be surprised to see a bigger pair more often than not

He's committing his whole stack when he raises, we have to fold med PP's like tens. We're crushed (it's not even likely to be AK).
