fold

why would u want to call for most of your chips which is not a big favourite against any hand in his range

best you can hope for is him having Ax

[MC]

The fact that we are 7 handed for 9 big blinds you'd kinda expect it to be a call,

But in this dynamic it looks like a fold. He knows his hand is getting showndown whatever, we lose some equity with there being effectively no big blind. Whereas Ax def factors in his range usually for 9bb, the fact there isn't much money out there to steal increases his range.

thanks guys i did fold but i think i should have called in this spot to maximise my chances of getting top3 or 4 where the money is in these, per poker stove i am 55% vs any pair Ax+ and KQ for what its worth if i was in villians position i would be pushing a bit looser down to KT+ and QJ probably to take advantage of the dead money from the ante's and small blind while still being well ahead of a random hand of the big blind, Villian would have to be pushing 66+, A5s+, KQs, A8o+  for me to be an underdog in this hand i dont think many players would be that tight.
he had A3o fwiw maybe i am just being results oriented!

you answered your own question - you ahead of his range and need to accumulate, snap call for me
