I think he just means, that utg would have to take into account that hero reraised a hand that would be committed to a BB push so perhaps he's not messing around as much w/ suited connectors etc. I don't think most people are thinking this deeply though, or that it should be much of a concern for utg.

I would fold.. UTG just has AA/KK here so much, an utg raiser just doesn't 4-bet light without history, especialyl since he may be on the tighter side after an 80 hand sample. you're basically praying to be up against QQ or a chop.

yes, also i think that utg is (even) less likely to have 67s or 55 or something.

ooic, anyway yeah, i'd prob fold here. due to stats, QQ probably doesn't always 4b here, and therefore tilts the push from ~0ev to slightly -EV.

fold looks good
