This is a hand that's worth a discussion. I think it can be semi-read-dependent, i.e. what have his raises looked like before. I only ask because, as stupid as it sounds, I routinely raise small instead of shove if I have a monster. That may be giving villain too much credit. Without a read, I think you have to call here because chances are you aren't gonna see a better hand and the clock is ticking.

I think it's a push, with or without a read. Odds are your next couple of hands won't be any better than this one.

How is this debatable? You can't even survive 2 more rounds and you are going to fold an A? The only way I would fold this is if everyone else is all in, in this situation I can't imagine not going all in. Oh, also if the CO only raises AA or AK.
