    I would say no here.
    lotta ways to be beaten... and you can't be that far ahead. I think a better spot exists. I haven't read any results yet, but I probably look for a better a better spot.

    Without looking at the results, I'd say this bet looks higher suspicious... this is very common for players with 2 overs. You own one guy with two overs at this point, but an additional problem is the people behind you, which probably don't have a better draw than you.. but could easily be ahead right now.

    This is why it pays to be an aggressor... You have 12 BB after this hand, so I would wait for a better spot. If this was Heads up I make this call all day.
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    I call with 68 and top pair... middle pair... short(est) stack... near bubble.

    Ya, I call, but I ain't happy.

    Tough call but I don't gambool here. There's a better spot to do this sort of thing (or if it was checked to you it'd be very pushable).

    don't get married to your nice hand I say. In case it helps, you don't have any additional money invested.

    i fold here - based mostly on stack size. If im more short stacked than you are, i call, if i have him covered by way more than i may call depending on read.
