This hand was the subject of much debate...

Situation: This is a very soft $1/$2 game with a lot of crazy players. Hand previous to this, UTG shoved all-in shortstacked with K9s, got called by a reasonably decent player makes a loose call in EP with A3o. They ran it 3 times...shortstack won twice, giving her $47.

Now, she's UTG, goes all in, same guy calls her. Pot is $97. I'm sitting with $350 and AKo; there are 6 left to act...I'm second biggest stack at table, most of them range between $50-$250, with one stack around $600.

It is true I probably have more of a tourney mentality than most here, but calling seems awful and folding seems ridiculous when I have their ranges crushed. Calling invites midpairs and SCs to call in position; I think my FE is extremely high -- as much as people are gambling and splashing around with garbage, I don't think anyone is too eager to flip for stacks except maybe some of the smaller stacks.

Is there any other move than an all-in?
