I like a call here. Depends somewhat on opponent. Calling is never gonna be awful here though if you can play postflop.

You definitely aren't too deep to push. Picking up the 600 in the pot adds ~20% to your stack. I'd push if I knew UTG was raising some marginal hands there and is capable of folding to shoves.

Without that rare situation I like a call.

I call if I think he'll c-bet. I shove if I think he'll fold AKs or JJ. I shove if I think he'll call with 55. It depends on the player and it's pretty hard to decide on the correct action with no read at all.

You forgot you'd fold if his range is 99+, AK

I'd probably just fold unless I knew UTG was opening wide here. I hate having 4 left to act behind us when we call. If one shoves UTG won't be folding and we'll be in a crappy spot.

6 handed the chances of someone folding AKs or JJ if you push are incredibly slim.

I think I like a fold in this spot unless villian is laggy, then I push. TT is tough to play postflop (at least for me)

[Austiger]

Seems like a good question. What's silly about it?

IMO, this is one of those rare spots where pushing/calling/folding are all real close and the answer depends mostly on your style of play and any reads on the table.

Reads on this player's raising activity/habits is like, kinda important here...

Very true. Is this hand ever a fold though? I mean I guess it is against someone with a very narrow range, but I think even a lot of very tight players are raising AQ and AJs here, some even wider.
