hmmm tough spot... any reads on villain.... id say hes probably 77+ a5s+ if hes a typical $4.4 donk... so id probably yawn than call... if you have any reason to believe hes a respectable player than its a pretty easy fold tho.. with 55k to manuever with it wouldnt be too hard to get that 9k back.

Yeah like reads are key here...I'd tend to gambol it up for making 80$ (?) or possibly 216$ so I'd call.
