Easy push. You're out of time.

Yeah -- you need to double up fast.

Hard to say. Were all his preflop raises of this amount? It is possible for someone to have a streak of good hands and he has the chips to push around, but I would be curious. If you are planning to go angainst him, I would just push. Make him choose now, and don't let him flop something to bet back at you with. There is a chance he may just fold - if he calls you have a decent (or at least close to equal) chance against almost any hand expect AK.

It takes a bit of courage but sometimes you have to fight back. But again 3 out of 4 hands is not a whole lot to go on yet -- it is possible that he actually had three good hands.

Dude, think about your options. There are 3.
1. Folding.
Pros: Can't lose this hand.
Cons: You get to lose in 5 hands instead when you get an assortment of garbage and end up pushing J2s from UTG+1.
2. Calling
Pros: Allows you to make lucrative sidebets on the flop being all one color.
Cons: Allows your opponent to get away on a AQQ flop, and it also allows you to make a hilariously bad fold if you time out or something.
3. Pushing
Pros: Allows you, a desperate shortstack, to get all of your money in the middle against a range that you crush. You may even get a fold if he's raising as light as your read.
Cons: Some chance of finishing 7th.
