Default Re: Defending an all-in with big cards

Can you give any info on the reads you have on these players? I think that's the most important information to help determine correct play in both of these scenarios.

1) Has SB been moving in frequently? Is this his first move on your BB? What's your read on UTG? Does his limp say "I have AA and I'm tricky!" or "I'm hoping for a cheap flop." How many chips does UTG have left?

2) Read on EP? Is he trying to bait you with a big hand, or is he leaving himself room in case someone moves in on him? Some players will raise half their stack with middle pocket pairs and then call your re-raise. If you put him on that kind of hand, I think you try to isolate against him.
