This felt standard, but I was abused in the chat for it, so I thought I should check it out. Im to resultsoriented so I have bad confidence right now /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

UTG raises to t1800, 1 fold, Hero raises to t5085, 5 folds, UTG calls t3285.

I dont have any fold equity, but I hoped he would have AK, AQ.

You had 5K not 5M.

You are about 62% with pot odds against AK/AQ and about 22% with pot odds against a higher pair. So it has to be more than twice as likely UTG has overcards than an overpair to make this EV+.

If UTG could have a lower pair or be stealing, then the push is a lot better. There are other players to act. If someone cold calls, they either have AK or JJ-AA.

Unless UTG is making loose early position raises, I think this is a fold. However, it is fairly close, and pushing isn't that terrible.

Thank you for the good comments. Nice to know the math of the situation, not my strong side.
It felt like I hade to do something, because every pot was contested and I was getting cold cards. Unfortunetly I had no read on UTG, but it was generally popular to limp with monsters and raise with overcards early.
