The only reason I'd hear for calling would be if you are by far the worst player at the table, and/or your steal attempts never work. If you can accumulate a lot without seeing a showdown, just fold here, wait for a better spot.

You are in a very good chip position, and likely up against a monster.

I can't think of an easier laydown. You can be positive you're looking at lots of dead outs while behind at least one PP. Your equity is razor thin even if noone has a pair.

This is an easy fold, IMHO. I'm shocked to see people saying otherwise.

wow- about 50/50 push/fold. You shoulda added a poll to this post.

I'm folding here. I can't say it much better than Exit and I agree with him 100%. You're stack is too good to go bust in this situation. If you loose a flip or are dominated you are gonna think yourself an ass. Find a better spot.

Your counting skills are off. I only see 2 people advocating a push, neither one with an explanation. Everyone else wants to fold.

I think the key point here is what you just mentioned, the fact that OP has a good stack with over 30 BB. What a waste to just shove it in there in a marginal situation. Heck, I wouldn't be thrilled to have KK here although I'd certainly play it.

With 10 BB it could easily be correct to gamble in this spot.

What is it that the youngters are saying these days 'drop it like it's hot'?

Given action and your pp read, turbo-muck.

Actually, that is not why it is a turbo muck. If the player all in turns over queens, and he knows everyone else will fold, it's an easy push. Unfortunatley that is not the case and you don't know anyone's cards, or if anyone else is going to fold.
