    Default can i fold in a pot this size?

    No reads at all, first hand at table...

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($145.05)
    Hero ($100)
    UTG ($88.75)
    MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ ($200.70)
    CO ($28.80)
    Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ ($86.70)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A.
    1 fold, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $1, 1 fold, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $1, SB completes, Hero raises to $4, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $3, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ raises to $7, SB folds, Hero raises to $18, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $14, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $11.

    Flop: ($55) 9, J, J (3 players)
    Hero bets $25, Villain2 calls $25, Villain raises to $68.7, Hero ???

    With 2 limpers, I'd make it 5 minimum, probably 6 to go preflop. As played, I'd bet a little more on the flop, like 40, and obv call a push. As played, push.

    You have gotta call his push. If he re-raised pre-flop with JJ or XJ then it's "gg!"
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    Call the re-raise and expect to get beat by the guy that initially called your flop bet.

    Your preflop reraise is too small.

    You have aces and want to get heads-up when one player trying to see the flop cheaply and another is showing a lot of strength. Just go all-in. This hides your strength more than a smaller reraise does against the button (who will probably call with kings or perhaps even queens, which I would expect to see from a player who is actually capable of limp-raising on the button), and forces the other player out of the pot.
