Default Re: 4/180 WTF do I do here

No way I'm just calling almost 20% of my stack at this stage with 4 other players in the hand. This is totally dependant on my read, but I think this is an easy fold, only because it looks like a few of the players have committed themself (I think, you're post is a little unclear) If the stack sizes allow for fold equity I would definitely shove all in here.

Come on, use the converter right and include stacks in the OP plz. Anyway look slike OR is heezy so he's raising 800 of a 5800 stack, could have a monster but something like 99-JJ, or AT-AJ is also very likely. This is an easy push. You're probably getting called but who cares, you're getting sick overlay on a flip. Calling is teh suxors.

the most important thing is the read on the utg raiser. if he's uber-tight, his range has you crushed, and there are huge reverse implied odds

This is not necessarily true. Nitty doesn't mean good and many nitty players have no idea how to play post flop so they raise larger with their non premium's (99-JJ, AT-AQ) just hoping to take it down preflop.

There are no reverse-implied odds if you just push. And you don't have to be a favorite here to make psuhing +EV.

I think this is a trivially easy push with so much dead money in the pot... we are fine by getting called by 22-JJ and I think you will get looked up by some weaker aces fairly often too for the same reason.

donk all in. There's so many dead chips in there to make it worthwile in case you're up against AK, I think we can rule out AA KK for utg raiser so go for it.

It's either a shove or a fold. Depends on UTG IMO. No one else had you dominated. UTG could have AK or a big pair, but it's more likely that you are flipping with him.

I'd lean towards folding here. Even if UTG (or, for that matter, anyone else who might call your all-in) has an underpair, I think it is really doubtful that all of your outs are still in the deck. With this much preflop action, there is a pretty good chance that at least one of the other players is holding an ace, too.

Thus, I doubt that you're in a coinflip situation, preflop, against any of the other players in the hand. Rather, if you get called, I suspect that you're either way ahead of a loose call by a weaker Ace or a significant underdog to a pair because some of your outs have been folded.

I like AQ, but not with this much action against a rational UTG raiser.

ur gettin 10 to 1 so u have to call but play the flop very carefully

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that is the last thing you want to do here. Preflop, you need to shove or get out the way and fold.

i was making an argument against calling because of the huge reverse implied odds.

basically, i was saying that it is very unlikely that pushing is -ev here, because the utg raiser's range is very likely very wide. IF the utg raiser's range has you dominated, then you should fold.

I don't think we can rule out AA and KK...I can see lowering the probability just because of the number of callers and you having an ace.

Also, am I missing something? How is everyone coming up with 10:1 odds here unless they are taking into account stack odds? From what I see there's 2700 in the pot, 700 to call...almost 4:1.

Sorry if I'm oblivious to something in the OP.
