Default The old UTG limp re-raise...

I never know how to handle these...

300/600/50 Blinds, guy with 14k limps UTG. SB calls, I raise to 3k in BB w/ 99, UTG shoves, SB folds.

I have to call 11k, I've got 45k after the raise.

In 20 hands the only ones he's played are an UTG shove for about 5k and a SB shove for 7k that doubled him up vs BB.

Fold. You've got a good stack and his range for that kinda move is Aq-A,K 1010+. Best case scenario is that you are flipping. Obviously you can get the money in a better spot (As 11k more will be a decent hit to your good stack).

There's 7.5k in the pot, 11k to call. Against your range calling with 99 is EV neutral. It's not right to fold this as a big stack if it's really a flip.

I think some people do this with a very tight range, and some would do this with a kind of wide range that favors pocket pairs. But I'm not sure what I should assume here as the average.

BTW, this is the $25 + 2.50 double stack.
