As played I probably fold, but I don't hate a call. BTN has AA with a spade or 1010, middle guy probably has a stupid hand like QQ or JJ. Closer than people are acting like imo, not that bad or a price.
You don't have to c/r here to put shorty all-in, and you definitely want to charge spades to see turn multi-way.
If they both fold, we collect 25BB (38-13 of our pf call) with a fairly marginal hand that is behind a 1/3 3-betting range
Also, we're only 93BB deep, so short of flopping 998 or a flush, this is the best result we can hope for with this hand, and I'm trying to get my stack into the middle asap.
However, as played, you're right, it's not a fistpump call after TAG rejams and I probably lean towards a fold at least 50% of the time.
