1/2 live cash at DTD, I've just moved to the table so have no real idea of gameflow but have history with both Phil and TL. It's about 1am, the game has been running all night. Phil knows enough about my game and won't have seen me do this very often at all as I almost never do.

He raises UTG £8

I call UTG+1 with

UTG+2 calls

BTN Tom Langley raises to £25

Phil flat calls.

Tom is playing £500 I think, Phil £672.

I newyork backraise booyaa to £105, folds to Phil who JAMS for £672.

My thoughts: TL size is very small. To flat the £25 with QQ+, Phil must expect it's going 4 ways and he's OOP to everyone, so KK/AA seem unlikely, as does QQ but less so. He's never going nuts with like 88 here or AJ or AQ. Maybe only those who know villain can comment, not sure - its pretty player specific. 

What does this stalwart of the community, warrior of the game have and should we call?

I used to really enjoy taking these spots and would 100% go for them when there was dead money. After lots of stressful spots I now just try to set oer set people as they usually will just fold to the 4bet anyway.

Well, you told me what happened - so can't really comment on the hand.  Against Phil though, when he jams over the top what do you expect him to show?  AK-sooted is probably the best hand (for you) that he could be holding?  Does he do this with TT or JJ?

You've probably played against him more than I have, and I know he can get funky at times, but this doesn't seem to be one of those spots.  I might be wrong though.

expect AK a lot, perhaps TT. But never KK or AA really. QQ makes sense but still thought not that likely, perhaps similar liklihood to TT but maybe more.

I'd fold but whenever I call Phil he always fucking has AA. #showers

Honestly though like you say it depends how you perceive his range with the money that's already in there it's probably a cawl if you don't give him KK/AA?
