UTG is probably calling your push with just about anything, so unless you think he's got rags then your best bet is fold I think.

Depends on UTG. He's got a big stack and can afford to race, wheres A5 is not a good hand to race with. It's a catch-22: If he's loose and limps a lot, there's a greater chance he's going to call your push; if he's tight and is a infrequent limper, chances are it's a big hand and he's going to call your push.

If he is weak-loose, then it's a good time to push if you think he's going to get rid of his hand here. So, to me, this isn't even a range dependant hand - it's a FE hand. You don't want to see any showdown at all, so whether or not he can let go is your call.

Yeah pretty read dependent I guess. I'm sort of surprised that he called but not crazy surprised. If he had any other Ax less than 9 it'd have been a split .. too bad.

I'd have a hard time pushing this, I think it would depend a lot on my image.

I like this play, but if the big stack got there by gambling then there is no way I'm making it.

I guess the limper had too big of a stack. Nice play bud!
