I care randy.

Really tough spot.

Raising seems like spew to me, but I don't think I'm ready to fold yet. I guess I call and see what button does and what happens on the turn. If button calls and sb fires turn again, I'm def done unless it's a Q.

call. their ranges aren't narrow enough to fold. fold to more heat generally.

I call and fold to a turn bet. This is def a gross spot, though.

I dunno if I was, but...
1. it's a squeeze situation, which I think widens the range
2. light or not, he still probably cbets AK here, and he could also have AJ or whatever
plus you might hit a Q!!!

Gobbo made the post about 3 betting. I am tempted to fold this hand now, or perhaps call and hope for a "safe" turn. The fact that the guy is leading out in a multiway pot and has already put half his stack in might lead me to fold on the flop. I would still feel bad though.

um I guess call, but I'm not really crazy about it

Of course, I'm the guy who usually 4-bets PF and calls a 5-bet, so don't listen to me
