Just happened on UB $.5/1NL 9 handed

Villain 3 $40.95.
Hero $139.95.
Villain 1 $18.50.
Villain 2 with $47.50.

Hero: Qd Qh

Pre-flop:
1 fold Hero raises to $4. Villain 1 goes all-in for $18.50 . 2 folds. Villain 2 calls. 1 fold. Villain 3 calls. 1 fold. hero ???

Results to come after some responses

No real reads on any of villains, just sat down a little while ago. Villain #2 seems a bit loose pf, no other reads.

I reraise all in. Your not going to be the favorite to win the hand most times (meaning you wont win more than 50% of the time), but it should be a hugely +EV situation.

Most likely its going to be a 4 way all in for a huge pot, so you only need to win ~25% of the time or more, and theres a good chance that more than one of them has an ace or king, which kills alot of their outs. Its highly doubtful that anyone has AA or KK.

I'm folding here, call me crazy, but I don't like to get involved in huge pots where I'm a big underdog.

What would Humberto do here?

ALL-INNNNNNNNNNNNN.

You have a # of things going for you ...

1. Hand strength
2. Potential fold equity
3. This is a very hefty pot.

it's close either way, i'd fold with a read, but without one i'm leaning towards pushing. folding isn't bad either.

do you really think either of the 2 cold callers are gonna fold with a pot this big with almost 1/2 thier stacks invested if i move in?...i highly doubt that, but anyway

results- Hero folds.
flop 3s 4h 8c Villain3 checks. Villain 2 checks.
Turn 3s 4h 8c Th VIllain 3 goes all-in for $22.45. Villain 2 folds.
River 3s 4h 8c Th Kc(no action in this round)
Showdown:

Villain 3 shows Ah Ac.
Villain 3 has Ah Ac 8c Th Kc: a pair of aces.
Villain 1 shows As Kd.
Villain 1 has As Kd 8c Th Kc: a pair of kings.
Hand #9174005-110 Summary:
$3 is raked from a pot of $60.50.
Villain 3 wins $57.50 with a pair of aces.

I thought if anyone was strong preflop it was villain 3, i also forgot mention that he was egging me on to push, saying "come on, reraise, reraise!!!", as I was thinking of what to do
