It might not be close to some but this definitely left me banging my head trying to figure what my best option was...

OR obviously a recreational player and the CO seems like a standard TAG with sample still relatively small. BB who shoves is unknown.

I don't think I got any other choice but calling the 9$ pre, I want the OR to be in and getting it in vs CO is suicidal.

Cutoff tank-called vs the shove and I'm lost...

call.. the tank call says you are ahead. you are ahead of all but 2 hands and those 2 may be holding each other's Ace.

don't shove and don't fold and expect co to play quite honest postflop

[QUOTE=ssrydyr33;46129012]call.. the tank call says you are ahead. QUOTE]

I expect vilain to be competent and I believe his tanking is very likely to be balanced

+ 1 Especially the part about expecting CO to play quite honestly post-flop.

Hah, I would've thought the tanking says we're behind! I tank all the time in these spots with KK+.

It depends on the villain but I don't think we can interpret tanking as weakness too often.

I'm a bit of a nit so I probably fold here. However with a side pot and being in position I don't think our hand is too hard to play post-flop.

I'd probably be happy to get to SD as quick as possible unless we improve or board and action seems uber safe.
