    Think he has AK & low/mid pairs alot....

    I'd fold and probably end up regretting it.

    lot to say about 4x utg, but dont hate it, dont like 4x fold at all tho.

    Think we see underpairs and worse alot here though, prob enough to make me call in this format.

    I think you should fold here. I don't want to go into the range of hands he could be doing this with since it would take a long time and wouldn't enlighten anyone, but the fact is that you can fold and play with your 130BB stack. You can dominate the table and win small pots while the blinds are small, only allowing big pots to build when you want them to. No need to risk getting into big pots with marginal hands right now.

    I'd be temted to flip that logic to the other side of the coin here :p

    That you can afford to take these risks now and still play on with a deep-stack? Yeah I'd see the logic of that but I'd rather wait for a better hand to make calls like this and let the others get a bit silly early on.

    I think we are flipping AT WORST here.  So many worse hands shove in this format (that we have dominated.

    Opinions seem split on this one!!!

    This is why i posted, i thought i was right at the time.

    I bombed out 39/100 when my QQ went all in pre v 88. 1st card on flop....8!!!! Didn`t improve.

    Honestly dont mind either line.

    I lean to a call personally based on the belief that alot of worse hands shove on us (that we dominate) in this format.

    But think folding is also fine based on what that boring loser outlined :p

    You can expect rapid posting today, have 11 children in the house aged between 3 and 9..... need the distraction.
