Another thing to think of is make sure you size it the same as you would if you were making a squeeze play.

Raise to 25.

I like this, which is about a pot-sized raise. MP's raise to $7 could be an "isolate the donk" play and the CO may have any PP given the two other stack sizes.

If this is the play, do you fold to a push by MP?

aj,

i make it 28, but 25 is fine. co will let you know if he has AA, and yes, its foldable.

(don't try this at home kids)

I raise to somewhere between $25 and $30.

If UTG pushes and CO calls, you should probably fold.

If UTG pushes and CO folds, tough decision but I probably still fold (do I get banned for saying this?).

Almost any other situation and I am felting this unless I get multiple callers and an A comes on the flop.

Folding can only be considered if MP pushes. CO has a pair, just not aces. UTG is a poor player.

under no circumstances would i fold this regardless of who pushes or called.

mp knows utg is a donkey, he might think ur reraising knowing this as well and would probly push call a push with qq ak jj and maybe even hands like tt or aq

Right, I meant MP rather than UTG. Agreed.
