I've been looking at this for 10 minutes and I'm still not sure what's the correct move. It's difficult to fold here getting 3-to-1 but if shorty has been very very tight and the other players passive I think I might fold and hope I get to shove the next hand. Otherwise, I think calling has to be correct even though it sucks.

Take this with a grain of salt though I'm not at all confident what the correct move is.

3-9 easy fold..... UTG is next to play blinds and will be back at 1460 while you will be sitting at 2500. I know it seems like you get good odds here but this hand is just way way to poor to call and costs you 30% more of your stack.

If it was only a few hundred more i would call, but 860 more is too much.

I don't think you got a single number correct.

Edit - n/m you got the 860 correct at least [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is going to be very close to neutral with pretty much any range we can expect for UTG. That means it's a "hard" decision, but not one that really matters much.
