Call or Fold

PP $100+9 tourney last night.

Near end of first hour. 340 started and we're down to ~200.

QQ Dealt to you in MP. Blinds are 25/50. You have T1200.

UTG limps in, you raise to 200. Folded to UTG who calls. UTG has T3400.

Pot T475. Flop A T 6 rainbow.

UTG checks. You lead out for T300 and UTG check raises you all in. Pot = T1775 and you have T700 left.

Call or fold?

UTG has been aggressive, but hasn't shown a lot of hands down. You have been super tight.

I didn't have the hand history at work, so I couldn't use the converter.

I can't think of a good reason to call this. Can you?

Well, it's only costing me T700 for T1800. I'm representing AK, and he clearly has better than that, or is bluffing. No flush draws, and really only gutshot straight draws.

So did he hit a set or 2-pair is the question.

He might also have just top pair. A bad player might check raise you with AJ or something along those lines. But unless he is totally bluffing you have 2 outs making you more than a 90% underdog. The pot odds would have to be totally enormous to justify a call -- unless you really think he is on a total bluff or has a pair of tens or something.
