a vvvv unique situation here boldie.
the flat call is a distinct possibility, only flawed by the knowledge that if the bigger stack pushes post flop, do you believe u have to call??
if so, a fold pre would have been correct on that basis.
probably the single most marginal pha i have seen to date tho.
The big stack isn't really the problem in this hand. He and I both know that if I flatcall it would need to be checked out. (We have played eachother a lot in sats and he knows I wouldn't be in here without having a good reason)
He is VERY unlikely to bet even if he thinks he has me beat as he'll be more than happy to be very big chipdaddy and he wouldn't risk doing anything stupid.
The problem is with UTG+5 who has God knows what and is the only player you actually have to beat, he is more than likely to push on any flop and could therefore put me in a tricky position if the wrong flop came down and I flatcalled pre-flop.
