One read to look for is if there is a player in LP that likes to raise with a lot of limpers. That would reinforce the AA/KK.

Nasty spot. No read on villain? I think fold is fine. If you had ANY read that he was somewhat aggressive, that he could be doing this w/ 88 or AQ, then you should shove. If he reraised in normal pace (3-5 sec), I'm folding.
