Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Button (t2210)
SB (t4285)
Hero (t550)
UTG (t955)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG raises to t375 (t580 left)
Button re-raises to t1000 (t1210 left)
SB folds
Hero (t400 after BB)??

Both villains are relatively TA with vpip of 20
big stack is total LAA with vpip of around 60 and bets at anything


If I fold here i'm basically giving up 1st and 2nd. If I call here, I'm probably behind and maybe even crushed.

Indeed, so fold and hope someone gets knocked out.

the problem with folding is that if utg folds (which would not surprise me - why else is he not pushing), then you and him have given up any shot at top 2. you're going to be stuck folding away you blinds until you're very short and the lag SB picks up every pot. then one of you busts and the other gets 3rd. weeee.

that said, i fold. your hand is probably behind the button, and you haven't invested that much in the blind.
