I would fold JJ here so quick your head would spin. QQ is probably worth a call, but I actually think it's pretty borderline. I wouldn't fault anyone for folding here

What will the bb do against a HUGE raise against an ep raiser?

I think this is a very interesting question to ponder. It is not an isolation play, (as by his stack, he is basically only calling), and he obviously cant fold out the second all in raiser.

What hand ranges would YOU do what bb has done? Personally, i would do it with AA, KK, QQ and possibly AK. If we put the mp1 on ak (thinking he would only raise to 1500 with AA/AK), then i can see a call with jj, TT maybe. If we have ak, and the mp3 has ak, then we are basically gambling to split up the ep raisers money and the blind money (assuming he folds). If he calls with a pair, and we both have ak, he is a massive favourite with his underpair.

If i had seen any retard fish play from either, I would call, else I would lean towards (reluctantly) folding

I'd fold, you still got a nice stack...BB would have to have been way out of line in the past for me to call.

Only 2 hands you don't want to see (AA/KK) and a cointoss w/AK... Push it if you feel like gambling.

I'd say that there is a good chance that one of them is AK so you are probably going in 50/50 with a call.

100% call.

Most people seem assume that the previous shovers have the same picture we have so have as tight a range. They have a rnage much like Fiji suggested and we should be calling every time.
