Looks like the raising could get out of hand ( eg we call, utg+2 reraises, CO pushes).

Well, let me put in a guess. Suppose UTG+2 has AK or AQ and CO has 99-QQ. How good is my AK then?

[bluefeet]

i do the same early level, following a raise and a reraise. UTG+2 pushing back over is the first concern. facing a most certain c-bet and a whiff doesn't warrant the risk here on this one. not to mention the off chance we're still behind on an A or K flop.

[fluorescenthippo]

this looks standard to me at any buyin over 55. the minraiser almost certainly has us beaten or tied.

well you either push or fold. with a raise and a reraise some one has at least a pair. so at best you'll have a coin flip amusing you dont go against KK AA. you have 960 in chips so you dont need to get involed at all, so either raise or fold

[adanthar]

I would call this but I don't mind folding, either. If you were the SB the fold would be super easy.

[SuitedSixes]

Easy fold. You are sandwiched between two players who like their hand, and the only flop you are going to feel good about is QJT.

Accept the $EV from one of these players losing chips and move on.

[Seadood228]

exactly why I don't like calling here...

I'd fold this in a sng, but probably not in an MTT.

[curtains]

btw I would never dream of calling here in a SnG. I dont think its even a close decision.
