Villain is solid so far, no PT stats. I know he's playing 8 tables so this is obv a premium hand but are we still shoving here?

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

i dont play 100nl, but i understand it to have really tight ranges in 3bet situations.....and is 5xbb raises ur norm opener??...if so, push....if not, then u might be playin face up, so folding is now an option....but i still push i think....

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

I fold.

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

an 8tabler is reraising your 5x UTG raise?

this looks like a good time to fold.

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

wtf raise pot preflop. against a solid multitabler oop his range should be {AQs+, AKo, JJ+ } which you dont fair too well against, but you can either 4bet, call and take a flop ip, or shove. i think calling &gt; folding &gt; shoving.

Calling 20% off my stack PF is hardly the best idea

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

what do you consider a better idea?

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

folding might actually be better than calling but i think shoving is the worst possible idea here. atleast calling we can take a flop ip and continue if we hit. what are your stats / table image?

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

No history, folding is fine.

Re: I struggle in this spot for some reason
 

honestly, at 2/4+ I insta-push here against solid players.
below 2/4 it's a toss-up between fold and push.

Calling is horrible because:

1) We are not stacking QQ on an A-high flop.
2) If villain has AK and you both miss, villain is likely to win the pot without showdown.
3) You don't get to see turn and river.

This is either a fold or push, leaning towards fold if villain is tight.
