This hand i did not know what the origional raiser had, but was pretty sure the 2nd raiser had either AK(90%) or AA-KK(10%). I was afraid if i called that the origional raiser woudl push all in. IS it right to throw this away if im almsot certian im in a race? Results if asked for.

If he has AK, you WANT your money in. You are 55% to win (which is BETTER than even money to double up early). With the extra chips in the middle from UTG+1 and the blinds, I think this is an easy push. Sometimes you will see JJ 1010 or AQs showed here. If he has AA or KK, then so be it.

Thoughts?

I would put UTG on AA-JJ, AK (AQ less likely since we're holding 2 queens) and the fact that they only opened to 70 which is a little more than 2 x bb. This usually means a hand that wants action. I think if its a hand like TT-88, or AQ then it would be a bigger raise to discourage action. I would imagine the re-raiser is on a medium pair and wants to get heads up against the original raiser (esp. if he puts him on high cards.)

I'm pretty sure you are wrong. That raise is much more indicative of AA-KKthan AK. I'd say it's 70% AA-KK, 20% AK, and 10% some other random hand. I also see players at the 20s play JJ and TT this way for some reason. I like folding, but pushing isn't terrible either.
