    In a gambling mood? Jam allin 

    Conservative? Fold. 

    Dunno what your chipstack is too, if you've got 4k+, then maybe a fold isn't a bad idea. 3k or less, jam it in- in it to win it, double through against AK and wiiiii

    Solar has a tight opening range, but you can't limit him just to QQ/KK/AA, and same with Acidman. JJ has a very good chance of still being good here.

    Ok i posted to get info and opinions and since im not quite understanding your view here i thought id reply. 5 bet folding seems horrible to me. Can you explain why you think this is good?

    Folding if im low again seems the opposite of anything i would do. If im low im more likley to take a chance or getting lucky/winning a flip.

    You have 5200
    Yeah 5 bet folding is horrible but hey you could find out for say 1200. If you flat and the board comes 10 high your shipping it meaning your loosing more in the long run. if they playing QQ+
    But hey your 5 bet might fold out some hands they holding :S
    I would prefer the call and see what sol does behind you., if he shoves/raises then fold.
    I guess in this spot your at best racing, so I don't mind a fold either.
    It's a dam horrible spot.

    looks like a standard fold, i guess you could 4bet bluff to 1200 if you think acid would laydown qq kk, i would want to be much deeper to just call the 3 bet

    I would fold on the basis that if both of you call the re-raise there a three way pot and if both are as TAG as is suggested unless you hit a J or a straight draw there's a good chance you're going to be behind to at least one of them on the flop.  Fold pre and hope the re-raise is called and goes to a shodown to see if it was genuinely two premium hands or if it was just a squeeze play.
