    Big stack made that raise to that specific amount because it's exactly enough to put you all in...Tough spot.


    He limped UTG then reraised to put you all in...Usually means a big hand. I don't think you're ahead, but you have already invested 25% of your stack, it's a tough fold but one i think you have to make.

    The best you can hope for is AJ i guess.
    After that its a flip if he has a pair < QQ.
    Everything else dominates you.

    You have 10x BB left exactly if you fold, i would have to say do it and wait for a better spot. UTG limp then reraise is usually a monster.

    From what I see right now, a fold is the obvious choice. What other hand would he be making this with that DOESN'T have you beat?? Unless he is ultra LAG then you are way, way behind right now.

    Yeah I'd lean toward a fold here as well. Even if he's making this play with a hand as weak as AK or JJ-99 you won't be in very good shape.

    In addition there's still one more player to act after you choose (Chode, who cold called that raise.. probably also has a decent hand, and will at least call if you do). AQs won't hold up very often 3-way when they likely check it all the way down.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
