I'd fold with his stack that big.

If his stack was 20BB, I think that's an easy allin, anyone else agree/disagree? Am I stupid for factoring in his stack size when it's all going in preflop?

Yes...It's not about stack size, it's about pot equity. Against an unknown even a hand like KJ has surprising equity.

against limp reraise this is easy easy fold with no reads.

When you said equity you meant likelihood to be dominated, right?

I fold AK against an unknown without much consideration.

I don't agree here.

You have no read and there's more than enough dead money in the pot to justify a call. Go with your instinct. There's no way i'd lay this down, especially at NL50

your instinct tells you a limp reraise at this level is usually not AA/KK?

In this situation, instafold without a second thought.

Shame on all of you.

My replies should be obvious sarcasm.

How, I wonder is someone playing at NL50 (when there is NL2, NL5, NL 10 and always NL25 available) without knowing this situation?

i'd call short stacked donks with up to 20bb's.

Looks like the typical AA-KK move in an early position. Straight from the book.....I fold and wait for a better chance to take his money.

I fold and choose not to get my money in as a probable 13 to 1 dog.
