    Any reads on what that 6xBB raise means?
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Unless you have a good reason to think otherwise, it means "I have TT or JJ and I'm scared of a flop with overcards because I'm really bad at poker."

    I think Initial raiser was just playing big stack poker, I planned to call him and push any flop pretty much
    The AI got me worried

    Personally I would fold but I think it is close. I am definitely shoving over with TT in this spot.

    I would put Tokadeska on either playing big stack poker or a smaller pp (I suppose 1010-jj is a possibility).

    I put Slowplaydude's range at (any pp, QKs+, A9+).

    If you push, either Tokadeska calls-- which is good cause you are ahead of his range and don't have to win the main pot to stay at your current stack level-- or he folds, leaving you getting 3 to 1 against a range around a coinflip against your hand.

    If your reads leave you to believe the ranges for opponents are different, then that could change things. This is one of those times that if Slowplaydude takes a long time to act I feel better about pushing. He probably won't be taking much time to push with a better pp.
