 I fucked this up bad me thinks, but I want to check anyway.

joujou must have sat down within the last few orbits as I haven't noticed him yet and he has no stats showing. I wanted to fold because the 'ol UTG limp then raise is a donk AA specialty, but then that other retard called. Do I still have to lay this down? I think the flop is the best I could ask for so I figure stick her in. I think there's something in me that makes me want to bust every dummy with a badly played AA.

I probably don't need to mention that osLobos sucks due to his expert min-raise/call 4-bet play preflop.

Bad all around or what?

nasty. whats your opinion on this guys play? he limps pf and then 4 bets. If hes terrible he could easily have something like 88 here and you are probably good to just shove this in pf. If hes pretty decent and slightly tricky I think you have to put him on KK+. I might be inclined to call the small reraise and see if I can hit two pair or something good. As is on the flop I don't think you have any fold equity really so call and hit gin on the turn?

I'm interested to see what people think of my reasoning here.
Flopping quads and boats like its my job

 i'm really an advocate of either folding or shoving this hand preflop.

Well I definately didn't want to shove here because I can't see this being something I'm decent against ever. And as for folding, I would but by the time the pot got back around to me it was $14 to call into an almost $70 pot with two bad players. So if my assumption is correct, if I hit gold I'm basically gauranteed to be paid off by UTG, and a good chance of getting paid off by the other guy. Is folding still the better option vs calling despite all of this?
