It's the 2nd hand. First hand I opened UTG to 60, villain made it 220 from MP1, folded back to me and I folded.

so what do you make of the 6x open, what should I do?

CO: t1500 M = 50
BTN: t1490 M = 49.67
SB: t1480 M = 49.33
Hero (BB): t1440 M = 48
UTG: t1500 M = 50
UTG+1: t1500 M = 50
UTG+2: t1590 M = 53
MP1: t1500 M = 50
MP2: t1500 M = 50

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BB with T

2 folds, UTG+2 raises to t120, 5 folds, Hero?

call or raise are both fine....i'd perfer the call, u can hit a disguised set, and if u get a low flop u can let them bluff off into u. raising would define their range, but they might 4bet shove on u with AQ+ 99+ and then u got a tough decision...

Call, if it was a 4/180 i would raise and call a shove.

Call and setmine generally but on a low flop u might get some weak betting tells to continue with the overpair but if they bet strong on low flop I probably just check fold.

Setmining is horrible, so if we're flatting we're getting it in on a dry flop. I personally think play in these is bad enough for a shove to be profitable, but I can see why we would want to take a more cautious line, esp as we have no good reads yet.

TT is hard to play oop on a lot of flops so I probably just shove over his bet. I expect his 6x open to be AJ+ most of the time or hands like 77-JJ
