I think that you have to fold here, especially to a raise this big. A3 is not even close to being a strong hand and you don’t’ have any FE here. There is no way he is folding any hand getting ~4:1.

"do i need to be this desperate here?"

Definately not, this is an EASY fold. He could push any 2 and you still shouldn't call here.

thanks for the replies. When does the become a correct call? If i had A? or im my stack was?

I'd find it hard putting anyone on enough hands from the CO to call with anything worse than AQ+ or 99+.

Probally AK & TT+ for me. Kind of hard to say when nearly all my bubble play is pushing when first in [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'd have to be pretty short in the BB to call with A3.

I'm far from perfect though.
