Default Re: Sweating a Friend, he makes this fold. Opinions?

This thread really makes my head hurt. If so many people here aren't convinced calling is right, then I'm pushing everytime a SB raises my BB on the bubble.

I've already taken two Tylenol after reading this and I may need a nap.

To make this even more callalicious, let's refine villain's range further. If you are the villain with AA in the BB, do you push all in? I rarely would unless I had damn good reason to suspect that the SB had a real hand. I want all his chips in the pot and will take whatever line is most expeditious towards achieving that goal. I probably trap with QQ and KK as well by flat calling, or raising short of all in.

If we decrease the likelihood of those hands in our analysis the call becomes even more mandatory. The only hand I wouldn't be surprised to see that has us beat is JJ and maybe QQ. There are about fifty hands that we are beating that are just as likely.

If the villain turned As Ks face up would you make this call? You certainly should, and if you wouldn't I would need to hear a real good argument for why not.
