i fold... but that's me...

i'm assuming that his raise means that he's ready to go all in.. since it's half his stack anyways... and i think A4 vs someone ready to go all in w/ 3rd stach on the bubble is not good enough...

anyone thing differently?

I fold. I want to steal from the small stacks, not double them up.

you aren't in the pot. Why cold call here with a hand that isn't a big favorite versus any 2, and could easily be dominated by 55+ , and almost any ace?

If I were you, I wouldn't really even want to bust this guy that much. Its easier to simply rob his blind and threaten him with a bubble bust out.
