are you guys serious? I always fold this.

OMG leak alert. Could Raptor or one of you explain your logic in calling? One of UTG or UTG+1 will be seriously crippled in this hand whatever happens.

Well, it’s a good call because it’s hard for something really bad to happen, and fairly likely (40%) that something really good will happen, you do have a strong hand after all.

If you win one of either the main pot or the side, nothing much happens
If UTG+1 scoops, you’re short stack stacked but in the money.
If you scoop, you’re hu with a 2:1 chip lead.
The only really bad result is if UTG wins the main and UTG+1 beats you for the side. But, this is by far the least likely scenario since UTG rates to have a much weaker hand than either of you.
