fold > call >>> push >>>>>> raise

IMO

Buy-in? Size of tournamant? Players left? Reads? Recent action?

Any raise will be a push since the cutoff only has ~7k and he already made it ~3k to go.

It really comes down to how the guy has been playing, how you have been playing and other factors for me. Normally I push here.

How often would someone who just put half his stack in fold to a flop push here? Obviously hand ranges are important. It reminds me of the Raymer/Danahmen hand, where Dahnamen (sp) raised a big portion of his stack w/AK. Raymer called and pushed the flop. Dahnamen complained "You totally missed!" and Raymer retorted "So did you."

So...how often? My guess is he actually has a big pocket pair here to put in that much of his stack. My vote is for fold, it only costs you t1100 and you still have a big stack.

Not very often if has any idea what he is doing.

I would also lean towards folding here. It's more than likely you are dominated, coinflip at best, but not often, imo.

I would fold. First of all, you raised UTG. Secondly villain reraised half his stack rather than pushing. Excellent chance you are dominated.
