Default TT vs 2 All-Ins PF

OK, here's a hand from a recent tournament. Full Tilt, $5 +0.50, 171 started. Still early in the tournament (hand 8-10), blinds are 15/30. Button has already made a couple of raises and folded to re-raises, but has not been all-in yet. UTG has been quiet so far. Please comment.

Full Tilt (9 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to 120</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises 2235 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls 1725 (All-In), Hero ???

UTG should be super strong here. Problem is often he isn't in $5 and that makes it closer. But you're not ahead of button either so just fold. I'd probably call if UTG had folded.

Don't see your stack size, but I'm assuming it's ~1,500. You're surely good here more than a third of the time (pot is offering over 2 to 1) so it's hugely plus ev. Stick it in. Even if all 3 of you have pocket pairs (22+), Pokerstove has you at 39% equity. If you take it down you're set to make a run at a big stack, otherwise fire up another...

That was the other question I forgot in my original post - does your answer change if the UTG player folds?

ruy,

do you think anybody is playing a medium or even small PP like this.

UTG: limps, gets a raise, a reraise and calls with one player more acting behind him

Button: sees an UTG limp a raise - reraises with 2 more to act.

I would set Button at 99+,AQ+
and UTG at JJ+,AK

and than it looks like this

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 31.578% 29.56% 02.02% 4706456340 321608376.00 { 99+, AQs+, AQo+ }
Hand 1: 43.519% 41.70% 01.82% 6639711780 289668024.00 { JJ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 24.903% 24.58% 00.32% 3914186952 51046992.00 { TT }

Just to be clear, I would probably fold this at a higher buy-in. Early in the $5's people are shoving big aces and broadway with abandon.

Fold again. The best case for you is to be up against 2 AKs or similar but you are probably behind UTG and flipping with the button.
Call this raise only if your inlaws just arrived and your wife is calling you to dinner.
