My friend argued that anyone who folds here is stupid. He said "check stack sizes, position, and your cards." I don't really believe that folding is a stupid play and I would fold here, but I'm weak at postflop.
The way I see it- even if you call someone else could push- if he pushes and original raiser calls your whole stack is on the line and you aren't getting the 4:1 you need. Eh, even if calling is correct here- folding wouldn't be a horrible play but can someone fill in the blanks.
