    fold that up.

    He is commited to the pot and will call with anything like AX. KQ is a dog to a ton of hands.

    Wait and see if one of the blinds wants to knock him out with their big stacks.

    FOLD! Even if he steals this, he'll be posting the bb next hand. KQo is probably a favorite over his range, but we're playing stacks here, not cards.

    If you were the big stack, I'd reraise him all in. But you're not, and playing this one might cripple you on the button.

    Just fold and see what the blinds do. Hopefully one of them has picked up a hand.

    and the SB may just wake up with Ax or a PP and decide to bust both of you.

    SB and BB both have you covered...you've still got c. 12BBs left, you can find a better spot
    I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour and who then asks: Am I then a cheat? for he wants to perish.

    I agree fold, he is already all in with his 450 raise. He will call your raise on anything at this point, small pair/ax.

    Wow... I must suck. I see that hand and I'm thinking it's a good shot to get my stack back up into contention... KQ dominates a lot of hands that get raised up 4 handed, especially by a stack with an M of 5.

    Of course, if UTG is any good, he could be running a stop and go here anyway... the small raise for half his stack could be saying AA.

    I'm in this camp here.... I push it in here to isloate and take this down. Maybe he wins, I still got a small stack, I'm not out.... I push this. Don't try and dissuade me, I read all the other opinions. I'm looking to win, not crawl my bloody body into third.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.
