Default Re: Hand Advice Please

If I call I'm most likely a 50% favorite. If he does have AA or KK I'm pretty much toast, but even at best I'm 50% or less.

Why do you think you're at best 50% or less? Even nits squeezes with AT-AQ and such due to fold equity.

If I fold I still have $25,000 left and in a later hand I can have fold equity that I do not have here.

Sure, you still have FE for open-pushes, but your fold equity for re-stealing is very small. I really like to have that FE.

Is it really that clear of a call/push or is it closer to 50/50 deciding whether to fold or not when fold equity is considered?

Also, I think with 15k or less the answer is clear but with an M of 7-8 the push might be a little overaggressive with a 50% favorite hand.

Thoughts?

Unless Villain is a huge nit, I think the call is 100% clear. And no, pushing AKs the first time is not overaggressive at all, it's completely standard. Again, don't assume your only 50-50 at best when called, people can definitely call with hands you have dominated.
