eww... i'd muck pre-flop against a utg+1 raiser. you'd still have 6 bb's after folding - not total desperation time yet.

Getting 6:1 on your call you fold? I wasn't too worried about placing in the money, I wanted to win. With the blinds increasing, I couldn't just sit and wait for a premium hand that may or may not come while in the process blind off my chips.

if you for some reason insist on playing it, i think you have to raise all-in.

you don't want to put in t3600 and fold for your last t4800. you don't want a lot of people to see the flop for 3600 and then fold if they miss. and if you go all-in and then utg+1 raises all-in behind you, you have a chance at knocking out one or two of the other callers and playing with their dead money in the pot.

yes, technically you are getting 6:1 on your money. but that's really deceptive. if you had put in a big raise, got reraised all-in and could play a heads up pot at 6:1, that's one thing. but here the only reason you're getting "good" odds is that you're going to the flop against 3 opponents, all of whom stand to have better starting hands than you.

but i think folding is better than either calling or pushing. i'd much rather muck here and raise all-in with any 2 next time it's folded to me.

4.8k into a 14k pot I wouldn't consider to have a lot of folding equity, since 2 other people called an UTG raise, I wanted to see what UTG and everyone else was going to do before acting on my hand. I actually had good relative position to the raiser, which was a plus for me in the hand. I already decided in my mind I was going to play it all in once I saw that flop. Once the button moved in, it was point of no return, although once UTG checked, I knew he had squat.

Oh I agree with your play, given that you checked the flop as this an autocall with this flop, but i still think the tiny bit of folding equity that you have ~%5 is still significant enough to make up for the tradeoff of getting extra callers or a free card that you gain by checking.
