How big are we going here?

About 500 left from 12000 starters, we have about double average

Big Blind is an absolute nit, Original Raiser seems solid, callers both labelled as fish

BB is a total nit, we will still have 55 BB's if we fold, but it's a 100BB pot to win....

Is this still a slam dunk call?

Bit of a sigh moment. I call vs OR and all over callers but a cold 4bet all in from nit in blind is kinda sucky. Do you have any pre flop stats on him? Or is the nit read just observational. It really could be a fold here but difficult to do in the heat of the moment. His range would be QQ/KK/AA/AK and QQ isn't great vs this range. If he is a true nit then yeah sigh fold for me

Nearer to a slam dunk fold for me. Unless you have shown down weak holdings or been squeezing an awful lot. Some better nits do look to take advantage of lags.

If he always does this with AK it's a call, if it's just QQ+, or KK+ it's a fold.

pot size is

200 x 9 (1800) + 3200 x 3 (6600) + 14100 + 52928 (67028) = 75428

To call its, 52928 - 14100 = 38828 /75428 = 0.51


Equity Win Tie 
MP2  40.21%  38.35%  1.86% QQ
MP3  59.79%  57.93%  1.86% QQ+, AKs, AKo


don';t think its close.. he's not folding Ak.

Sizing is a touch too big, i would be going 11775 or there abouts

Snap call the jam. Certainly not happy in the slightest, but folding is simply out of the question
