I think I can find a fold here if I had reads on the opponents, I think that MP's raising range is something like AK, JJ+, maybe even AQs. Against that range we have 49 or something percent equity. He may even have something like TT or a lesser pocket pair. I don't know I think its close since UTG's range is pretty small to something like AJo+ 88+. I am not too good at Ev calculations but I think this might be a good push. I shove and pray.

Unless you have reads on either raising 4% or less then it is an auto push, even with AK/JJ.

Same here, thats why I started to question the push. JJ I am probably folding, AK, I am probably shoving as well.
