    No certain read on either player. Both were fairly active, but not super loose or donkish.

    I figure I'm either crushed or way ahead of the all-in. I don't think AK pushes that hard. Trouble was, I had no idea what the first raiser would do. Being in the middle sucked.

    I'll spare you the suspense. I folded and first raiser folded. The pusher took the pot.

    Just wondering what you'd do with this stack, these blinds, and this action.

    When I first started reading, it sounded to me like you made a super weak play. But looking at the hand history, it's most likely that you are beat. I think you made a good fold.

    That reraise was just rediculously huge.

    Unless you've seen him do this with every pair no matter what their value, I don't see how you could have called and expected to be ahead.

    The hands I'd seen, I didn't think he was the type to reraise all in with AK or a pair weaker than QQ. I thought my best case scenario was JJ, but then I had to wonder what the initial raiser had; since he also hadn't been LAG, I knew he wasn't raising with air.

    In the end, my position dictated the fold. The guy shoving was one of the only (if not only) people at the table who had me covered. Seemed dumb to go up against it, essentially hoping he's got JJ>.

    I ended up busting 216, 36 away from the money. Bah.

    Thanks for the replies.
