Please, no offense. It's a simple pre flop spot. Estimate a range for villain, and then check ATs against the range using pokerstove (pokerstove.com). If your chance of winning is greater than the odds being offered, then call.

No one on a forum knows how UTG was playing up to this point (except you) so no one can assign him a range, so don't expect a response.

LOL what kind of question is this?

What are the payouts? How can you even begin to analyze a FT spot without payouts?

with only top 3 paying this is a snap call.

If this is the exact bubble spot then it becomes trickier. Basically you want to know how good of players (short stack players) the other two shorties are and if they're decent id get it in here, if they're not id fold and play outlasties with them.

Sorry, I did not see you are a new poster. You could get good responses on these technical single table spots in the STT section of 2p2 as well.

well you didnt give us any info on the villains, so readless i think this is a fold, villain would have to be pushing around 50% of hands and the people behind you would have to be super super tight, say TT+ AQ+ to make this call ok, neither of which i think are true because this is a $5 game, you are already in the money,everyone is so short and most likely have never heard the term icm. please include your reads when you post hands cause they can change everything about a hand, because for all we know he could me a maniac pushing 100% thinking he can run the table over, and the people behind you are super nits making this a snap call, posting a hand without stats/reads is like asking someone who is going to win a baseball game who has never seen either team play.
