I'm not calling with this deep stacks.

Villain's line preflop is pretty odd- flat calling 20BB in a reraised pot with the UTG preflop raiser still to act is a pretty scary move (or a bad one). At this level, it probably means that the villain is nutso, but hey, whatever.

Anyway, you have reraised an UTG raise pf (which should define your hand pretty well), and then he check raises your flop bet all in (plus he has to worry still about the UTG, who ought to have a pretty decent hand) - think your hand is still good? He might have QQ, (kk less likely i would think) or just maybe KQ, but once you acknowledge that he might have called with crap like that, you have to concede that he could have a J.

I think that this is an easy fold.

I agree...lay it down. Villain could be calling pf with anything and then the c/r AI is way too much to be messing with now.
