Hmm, too weak and too early IMHO. Blinds aren't super critical and you're getting off the SB. Raise is from UTG+1 and you have zero FE. You're going into a race no matter what here, so it is indeed double up or go home. That said, I'd rather steal some blinds first and then force a showdown sometime.

I'd probably let this one go and take another orbit for something better. AT isn't killer and like mj said, there isn't any FE for your all in.

Besides, most of the table isn't that deep.

Damn, no reads on villain? With that big raise you are probably either a slight dog or a big dog, unless he is retarded. Cry and fold.

*edit: Raise is big because it makes him pot commited.

Yep, no good. Anyone like it if the raise was from the CO or I had AJ?

[ugignadl]

AJ makes it harder, since you're more likely to be a favourite there. From the CO, that makes it easier. If he is a thinking player I think it is a reasonably easy reshove with AJ.

These are marginal times...
