Voted call. Hero with a top 5% hand with good match-up value and getting slightly better than 2-to-1 to call. But with this V, early position at at this stage of the T, I don’t want to invest in a pot I cannot get out of. A call may bring others into the pot to sweeten it. Evaluate the flop and go from there. Don’t like TT here as much. Would like to have a read on V’s postflop play to know better. But you’re probably behind a large portion V’s range with fewer chances to improve.

I voted to fold for the following reasons:

1. Vs. this type of player we r flipping at best;
2. Several players yet to act incl SS SB;
3. Could get costly chasing a draw against the odds;
4. May not get paid if we hit an A on the flop.

If I knew the tighty was on the passive side a 3-bet may be viable. However, given our image I’ll opt to fold.

I’d call w/TT, hoping to set-mine if behind.

I’d fold AQ off but call with AQs or TT. Both hand has good odds to play multi-way pot, and the potential to win your opponent’s entire stack. If I flop the nut flush draw on flop, I’ll slow play it and start building up the pot (check call). If I flop 2 pair (Aces and queens) I’ll check-raise (shove if necessary), lead if flop checks down to me. If I flop top pair or QQ with ace kicker I’ll proceed cautiously (for pot control), fold to a raise. For TT I’ll fold to most flops if someone bets, call with an overpair or a set.

This is pretty close, but I voted to call with the intent of proceeding cautiously on the flop.
Out of position I would fold.
But, here we have a strong hand (albeit close to the bottom of V’s range) and position – meaning we’re likely to get a lot of information before we have to act again.
Only thing I’m concerned about is inviting a 3-bet from the rest of the table, but I’d still take that chance.

cant fold coz im too much of a spaz.
he is a tight player but it doesnt mean to say he isnt taking advantage of his image. a good player nearing the bubble hear could min plus with a range of hands knowing his image is extremely tight and people nearing the bubble will be more than likely to fold even strong hand like ours. calling and assessing on the flop is probably my option however i dont even mind putting pressure on and 3betting (would probably 3bet with 10/10 and then fold to a 4 bet) definate call though sb stack is inaffective so 1 less hand to worry about behind also.
