10-handed 1/2nl loose aggressive table. You limp in 66-99 from UTG&UTG1. two or three loose limpers behind, one 20-30BB donk shoves with a wide range from LP,one big stack laggard calls from blinds.What to do now? Which of the following is the best option?
1,We call and see the flop but it's likely a 3 or 4 way pot.
2,we fold and avoid high variance.
3,we reraise,isolate and try to play HU vs wide range shorty.
Effective stack is 150BB vs laggard and other limpers.

Folding and Shoving are both good. I used to like shoving here a lot. Calling here is not an option. Also depends on how big our pairs is. With like 66/77 you'll see like 88/99 here often enough to puke.

88 & 99 I would definately shove given the playing range.

However I find folding 66 & 77 a good option given how many are still left to act. You definately don't want to be 3 or 4 handed with 66 or 77 with 4 all-ins
