Normally cold calling isn't a good idea but can you warrant doing it here as we are OTB, deep and playing vs fish? I don't know a whole lot about everyone apart from the fact the 3better has been solid so far and the opener and peeler are fishy.

I don't see why not, u have 5k chips, have the button and your a reg, so you can play down the streets. It cost u 180 to see a flop, if they all start going mad on the flop and u have missed u can just fold and move on. If u flop your set then it's paiiii the man his moniezzz

I hate not closing the action but yeah probs call here.

It's normally such a sin to do so that I automatically folded. They got it in with AJ and AQ on JT8 ffs.

Yeah you're deep enough and your hand strong enough that you can call here, even if *in theory* your hand is turned a little face-up you can still expect to get paid when you hit.
