Ok lets say it is a $5 buy in game and i happen to have exactly $5 when utg+3 has lets 8 bucks All the players before him just limp for 10c the size of the bb He raises 3 bucks and it folded around to me on the button. I ave Ak i can do one of the following.

A fold
B call
C raise all in

We know enough about utg+3 to assume he has either ak,aq,aj, or a pair likely 9 or better. We have no idea how big his hand is he could have AA as well as 1010. What is the best course of action ?
