    BEST case you're in against two overs and a lower pair, but you're often crushed or in against 3-4 overs. That's not too bad given you have to get a ton of chips, but I would much rather fold and open push whenever you can. Plus, the fact that this guy smooth called rather than shoved is spooky.

    nope this is a clear fold, you have time to wait for a better spot than 30-40%

    Fold. You have 10bbs which means that you don't have to get that desperate just yet. Not to mention that you are up against 2 others. It would be slightly different against one person. If you had 7-5bbs then I would say gamble. But, I would rather fold and find a spot where you can open push.
