Hi, so this is the hand:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?6574616

If I can recall well, 50 people left ( maybe 60 ) and 36 places paid.

This will probably be mostly my thoughts why I shouldn't have done what I did, post game considerations led to another option.

The UTG raiser is a new player at the table - no stats. Not sure if it's an +EV shove from me. Only took into account post game that he raised 4x BB which is a lot(considering the blinds). It creates sort of a protective image of the hand ( looks like possible hands 99-AA;KQs;AK,AQ maybe).

Given that, I should have folded since only better hands are calling my 3bet from EP(also after he commited so many chips.)

I am just puzzled about calling as an option. I would be left with 6k chips if I don't hit and fold. ( if no one shoves behind after my call ) which is M=4 so a bit desperate. On the other hand if I call I am commited.

At that moment before calling, my M~6.25 and my SPR after his raise was 2 so I guess I still had some flexibility.

These are all arguments I had (well, which came to me after the game) and apparently it would've been a fold.

Any comments are really welcomed. I hope I did not miss any info.

I'm never folding in this spot.
