Fold. You may have the best hand, but why get involved.

uhh, because it is 10% of our stack, we probably have the best hand, and we have position? folding is weak tight.

I most likely call here, because we have position.

We have an UTG push for 9XBB. That is probably 22-KK or AQ-AK. Then we have an early position call, which is probably 88-AA or AQ-AK. TT may be the best hand, but so what? What do we have to gain? Hero has position, but TT may not be that easy to play with one player allin.

If you reraise here, you don't think it gets heads up pretty often? Wouldn't you love to get it heads up against a short stack getting more than 2-1 with TT? I can't see how folding this is right unless you are pretty certain the caller is coming along.

How does the gain of geting heads up with 2-1 pot odds compare to the loss of getting all your chips in a 4-1 dog?

Do you think we are a 4-1 dog against the caller that often? I really think this is broadways, medium pairs a ton more than JJ-AA.

I agree, but you make a slight EV gain when the caller has high cards or an underpair and you fold him out. You make a huge EV loss when the caller has JJ-AA and he calls your push.

It just isn't worth it. It is better to respect the early position push and call and not get involved with TT.

I think some sort of read on MP2 is very important. Is he the sort of player to check down with someone all in? I think I call, then, dependent on the flop, I'll reraise his continuation bet or bet into him if he checks, but probably not go any further.
