Mid-PP Hand #2
 

Is this a fold or shove??
This is from the FUPER. I have been aggressive, but I dont think I have been that aggressive recently. I think this is the first hand back from break

I fold this pretty fast I think. Calling is really bad and you're way behind their calling range. You have 28BBs you have plenty of time to wait for a better spot.

No reads on villain?

I had a similar hand come up with 55 in EP, I was shorter but it was just a resteal, not squeeze - so the increase to my stack was approx the same. I did a pretty in depth calculation of the EV of a shove. The effect of having several players yet to act is actually pretty negligible. Basically my conclusion was that I'd almost rather shove this hand from MP than from the blinds, since the increase in credibility likely more-than compensates for the live hand risk.

BUT, I was really confused with the ranges to assign. By putting in what I thought was reasonable, I could literally shove ATC for a profit. So I'm interested to see what other ppl say.

seems like a pretty easy fold to me
