1 fold
Hero...

Your on the bubble of a STT, the big stack at the table just won his stack about 8-10 hands ago, for the 3 outta 4 hands he has raised every time, before he got the stack he was TAG...

1. You pick up A10 in the SB, UTG raises AGAIN (the big stack) next to act folds you...?

2. Now assume you call...the flop comes *** FLOP *** [7h Jh Ah] He fires 800 into a 1400 pot, what do you do?

3. Now assume you call again...the turn is [Ad] your first to act, what do you do?

Folding preflop seems the better option.

If I have XX in my hand I'm either folding or pushing all in in this situation. With ATo and a healthy stack, I'm probably folding.

I think the important part that i was highlighting is that he raised the last 3 out of 4 hands and he just got his stack, defiantly seeming like bubble bullying...

Preflop: You said UTG folded, but what did the BTN do??

If you're gonna play sheriff, do it with something good. You've got a healthy stack, and calling 25% of it out of position seems like not a good plan.

PF Folding>>Pushing>>Calling

Lol beer, your saying that because your the donk that is the big stack in this, LOL.

I think you need to edit a little more because you said UTG was the bigstack, but it's actually the BTN.

preflop: coldcalling a 3xPFR with 12BB and ATo was bad. You should be push or fold at 12BB on the bubble. Fold preflop > raise >>> call.

flop: this is why we don't coldcall with ATo preflop. When an A comes all you beat is A9- which is not likely or you are dominated. Coldcalling seems like the worst option here.

turn: you've got a set but you don't know if villain has a better set.
