I fold this. If you get called you're a huge dog, and you are getting called here too often with this many left to act. I wouldn't push here until about 5xBB with this hand and position.

Don't have SNGPT here cause I'm at work...but I'm curious, what is the $EV if everyone's calling standards were A9-AK, 99-AA (i.e. if you get called your a huge dog). I think it'll make this slightly positive $EV, but not sure.

I think the reason I like this play is that you're likely not to get another chance to pick up some chips for a while. Although I wouldn't make a habit of doing it...especially if anyones shown that their prone to being moderately loose callers or if big stack wasn't stealing incessantly.

Edit: At the $55s or lower i'd fold this about 90+% of the time
