Do you take the coin-flip?

[Mr. Curious]

You are sitting at a cash game with a 100xBB stack.

UTG has gone all in for 100xBB.

It is folded to you on the button with 55.

You know two things:

#1 You have a tell on UTG that is 100% reliable and says that he holds AK.
#2 If you call, both blinds will fold.

Depends on the rake. With a normal 5% rake, this is an easy call.

It's not a coinflip. I'm favorite. Call.
(unless I can't handle the loss)

Of course, this is silly. It would never happen.

Its an easy fold. Why would I want to coin flip for my stack. Im a huge favorite in the game and I can get all my money in as a huge favorte. I agree with Bob Schiffone who says stay away from situations where you are either a small favorite or a huge under dog.

Because you can reload?

it's a cash game, not a tournament. assuming you are properly bankrolled and assuming no rake, this is one of the easiest calls there is. also, this is not a situation where you are a small favorite or a huge under dog. you are a small favorite with 0% chance of being an underdog (small or huge).

In this situation you are never an underdog. It was stipulated that you knew with 100% certainty that he has overs. win and you can continue to get oppourtunities where you are a huge favorite with a 200bb stack. Loose and you reload and continue to get opportunities where you are a huge favorite.

The only time I don't call is if i'm playing above my roll and I don't do that so I always call.

[PoBoy321]

I thought this would be a question like "I have AK and there's dead money." As it is, this is an easy call.

[sourbeaver]

Most absolutely depends on your love for variance.
I.E. I probably wouldn't.

edit: factor rake in, I definitely wouldn't.

How much is the BB in this case? If a loss doesn't demolish me then yes I call.
