3rd hand in, so no reads.  I'm pretty sure Dan Harrington says to fold in this spot, but this isn't 2003 anymore -- it's 2010, as a matter of fact.  Your move?

Ahaha.  You just nailed what I was thinking at the time.

I think I fold here.  I'm sure you're ahead most of the time, but if he's open shoving worse at this point, it won't take long to figure him out, and if it's a sucker play, you're done.  So discretion's the better part of valor for me here.

Coinflip's not a bad option, though.

Yeah.  Called and won that flip, obviously.

I insta call. People will sometimes do this with pocket pairs 55-jj, I have seen people do this with suited
connectors, the last one I saw was 56s. You are ahead of villians range 98% of the time imo.

What type of tourney was this? Seems like a typical re-buy shove lol.
