Default Folding big-slick pre-flop

Villian was a LAG, but after a decent raise and a call, does anyone else fold this? If this was HU I call it of course, but against two people It's not even even money correct? I was about 90% sure villian had aces. Yeah, I know. How do I know? I don't, but my third eye was screaming aces.

Reasons can be made for both call and re-raise, but I can't really see folding here.

1) Calling completes the action and you get a cheap flop.
2) Reraising will give you an idea of where you are and will trap some money in the pot.
3) Folding will make no money... ever [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You're going to have to do better to convince me here. I'm an under dog to any pair, and I would bet that one of these two guys that are calling 16x BB pre-flop have at least a pair. Against AA's I'm losing a lot of money if a K or A flops. I just don't see this as a positive EV play. Now if I re-raise and the orginal raiser pushes, I'm -EV big time.

Why put money in here? What's the best scenario that's reasonable that I'd be in that would be +EV

re raise if you get raised again the let it go

reraising lets you know where you are in the hand.

Reraising a LAG, OOP, with AKo doesn't seem too smart to me. I just call this and look at the flop.

I'm beyond confused at how people say this is a call. Can someone give me a range of hands that they think these two players would have that would justify a call and show profitability. I just don't see it.

This isn't really a question then. If you're 90% sure villian has aces, then you should be folding no questions asked.

I love smart guys. Assume I'm wrong. How do you play this? What range of hands do you place callers on?
