Ick. I think it's a fold, but it certainly isn't clear. If you could isolate the original raiser, I think you're hand equity is close to 50%. Throw in the dead money, and it's close to the right play, but I think it falls just short, since you've no fold equity.

I am tempted to play a lot of hands against anybody with the name Bassmaster, however.

You have less than 5 BBs and they are coming up quick, plus he only minraised. Are you thinking minraise means strong hand or weak hand? Unless you think it means strong hand it looks like a push (to try and get HU) to me.

I think you push and hope to win the race.

Pushing seems like a fair option. If the chips were a little deeper between you and the raiser, AND your knew the SB and BB would fold to his raise, you would be better off calling, and then pushing the flop if no ace or king comes.

There is no way he can call 400t with a 905t stack. He can't pull a Stop-And-Go with 505t in a 1100t pot. He would be offering 505t to 1605t. No pre-flop raiser is laying anything down to that

Was villain doing this often? This would change some of my assumptions? Without this pearly knowledge, I am thinking fold.
