Definitely a fold. You have a dream bubble situation even if you fold. There's no reason to try to prick the bubble with a marginal hand.

You still have folding equity if you call. This is a dream situation because you're getting great odds to call with a good hand 4 ways with someone going all in with 3 BBs and you'll still be second in chips EVEN IF YOU LOSE.

This is an easy call. I don't understand how anyone can say fold. I would call getting 1:1.5 here.

?? I agree, this seems like obvious call to me, esp with 250/500 blinds.

there is no "dream bubble situation" if you fold, bb next hand is likely calling with any 2, as are the other stacks if he survives, so FE is gonna be hard to come by regardless. take your opportunity to end the bubble while you can.

You have to call. You still have folding equity if you lose. You have a huge stack. You are getting odds. You have an opponents whose pushing alot. DONT BE WEAK.
