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?

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.
