Easy quiz. Sucks that you got sucked out on and have a small stack, but with this much action its an easy fold. The button’s about to move past you and there will for sure be a better spot in the upcoming orbit to get the money in on your terms, even if it is with any two cards.

Fold
With utg raising and utg+1 and a reraise with so many to act behind they must have hands to beat yours.Utg is big stacked and might call against aggro opponent.Utg + 1 will fold so you are facing 2 callers that will see a flop.You only have $50 invested so release and you have a full turn to get your money in a better situation

Call. Hero is short (<10 bbs) and getting the right price. Prefer to be the initial shover, however only 4 hands are ahead of you. Villains may be holding each other’s potential outs. Time to double/triple-up.

Call. Decent chance you are behind right now, but you’re going to be forced into that situation pretty soon anyway and probably with a worse hand. This way, we likely have a reasonable shot at a $4-5K pot. Win this and we’re back in the mix.
