Bothered About Middle Pairs

Hello,

For an instance, in a $5/10 NL ring game you are holding 99,TT, JJ in Middle position and in early position facing three times raise from a tight aggressive player, would you call and eventually consider pair as a “set catcher” or just re-raise and treat it as a premium hand instead?

By the way, besides from likely holdings, are there some other factors to consider?

Thank you.

Steve

Steve,

I would consider nines and tens as set catchers. Jacks I would lean towards a set catcher. The TAG could be also raising with a hand such as A-K suited as well.

Other factors to consider are how long it has been since this player has played a hand, and what they are capable of showing.
