UTG+1 is 21/17 decent tag
CO is racetothetop - 27/20 3bet 9 and is pretty aggressive
In the past i've gotten it in 300bb deep against him with mid set against his nut flush draw on flop, but i wouldnt call him bad

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $2(BB) Replayer
Hero ($238)
BB ($270)
UTG ($550)
UTG+1 ($421)
CO ($400)
BTN ($325)

CO antes $0.30
BTN antes $0.30
Hero antes $0.30
BB antes $0.30
UTG antes $0.30
UTG+1 antes $0.30

Dealt to Hero 9

I think once you 4-bet you gotta snap him off. I probably either fold or call 50/50 between both though preflop. If he is really agro then I would just fold and wait for a better spot. Save these mid decent hands for calling hands against him and polarize your range more so if he does shove you can fold easily when he 5-bets or snap him off.

Meh, pretty marginal I think. I didn't do the math, but i think he needs to fold around 60% or so for this to be break-even. I mean he probably does, but it's one of those situations that's really image/game flow dependent.

Hope you like variance.

Agree with folding preflop. Super marginal with 100 bbs, clearly -ev with 120.

If you think CO is reraising this guy a ton preflop (which is possible since he is deep with position) then I like your play but you have to call it off. When you get it in you are going to be behind a ton but you will have committed too many chips.
