First hand after the break, I'm utg and 2nd in chips.

Being that I'm second in chips and he did just reraise my utg raise do I fold this preflop waiting for a better spot? Or if the play is call, how do I get away from this on the flop? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, could you elaborate a little as to why? The reraise on my position, the amount he raised? The fact that he's chipleader and doesn't need to be picking a utg raise off? I've been thinking it over and I really underthought this hand, I played very well up until this point and he had me covered so it busted me.

fold preflop or go broke.

also, just calling preflop is bad because you are way committed, if u want to play u must shove. stacks are so short there isn't a whole lot of maneuvering to do.

you should get away from this PF. if you decide not too then you get it all in PF if you smooth call PF you really cant get away from it after that... if you are playing TT for set value here that is just horrible

You miiight want to push PF if you have a read on the CL as LAG...but yeah, otherwise fold PF.
