3.25 Bubble Play
 

Believe it or not, villain had played pretty well, not out of line with the hands that he showed down. He had just lost a flip for about half of his stack and this was the next hand. Is this a call or let it go hoping that he and the big blind fight it out. I really had not seen him showdown anything but quality hands.

Best case:
Hands you can way ahead are Ax, Jx.

Coin flips or close:
Pocket pair are slight favorite
You are only slight favorite to KQ.

Hands you are behind:
AQ AK
QQ, KK, AA although it is unlikely

I would fold and see if the BB calls. Only because he has big stack.
