i hope he folded!
what you have to ask yourself is what kind of hands he might hold, and did you see him fold big bets before? and you forgot to tell what lvl that was (as in how many till the bubble, or was the final table and all that).
please write that here

I do not like 2 things here.

1) You are tangling with the ONLY guy that can bust you
2) You give him 2:1 on his money.... twice...

Shove &gt;&gt; Flat-call and play flop in position &gt;&gt; your line &gt;&gt; fold

Shove and flat-call (and fold) are read-dependent. What does he raise 5xBB with? Considering that BB has only 9 BB's?
