Blinds: 400/800

Pre-flop: (1200) Hero dealt :Ah:
Vlr12K folds, oladunk1 calls $430 and is all-in, massilia z folds, hl.dreamer bets $2,740 and is all-in, Hero ?

villain was quite aggressive and played 20/17 over 120 hands. according to sharkscope he's a breakeven player over 1000 games at these stakes

Too bad villain didn't call and let you cooperate to check down the hand. (You are BB, yes?) I would fold here, hoping to make the bubble, but let's see what others say. Can't tell for sure, but "Vlr12K" with 2000 in chips will have the BB next? If so, he's on life support. Even though your M is super bad, I'd probably try to fold into the money without some good cards, but that's the nit in me talking.

If it was the big stack raising here, It'd be an call easy, figuring he was just prepping to pwn the bubble and raising light, but it's definitely a harder call with second largest stack doing the raising.

But I still call here, anyway. Folding and hoping the two short stacks go out is a great set-up for dissapointment. If you win this hand either one way or both ways, you are in a good position to money and take 1st. If you fold, your only hope is to get 3rd or 4th.

I guess the question is, what hand are you waiting to call with? If you aren't willing to call with A8s here, than they can just raise ATC all day and widdle you down.

I think it is very close but unless villian is loose I fold this

If it was folded to Villain who then proceeded to shove, I would snap call. However, with the short stack AI, I have to give SB credit for something of a hand, so I would reluctantly fold. I would insta call with AT/AJ+ though
