Live game, I have 2 3  in the bb. Blinds are 1/2, live cash game. UTG straddles, there is 5 callers, I call the extra 2 pound with so many players in, UTG checks.

Flop  2 3 Q (all raninbow no flush draw)

  . The pot is £20, sb checks I lead out for £14, utg folds, utg plus 1 raises to £42, it folds round to me, what would you do here?

I'm confident I have the best hand outside a set of 2s or 3s , and that's hard to see with me holding 2 3, i'm pretty sure I have the best hand here, was thinking about smooth calling, but oop decided I just wanted to get it in.

I reraised to £90, opponent shoved and i snap call. I had about a further £80 behind, if he smooth called, I was shoving any safe turn card.

My thinking was there was no flush draw, no real draws apart from 45, couldn't see him having q2 or 3, only was really worried about a set, and if he had a set good luck to him.

    Raise is quite scary on a dry board.  Villain dependant whether we think he overvalues hands or not.

    Arguments for folding there and then.  You are either crushed or way ahead.  I probably end up doing what you did unless villain hadnt stepped out of line and was a bit of a nit.
