Its $138K for me to call and would put me all in. Its a premium hand and we are short handed. If i fold, I have $138K, well below the avg of $200K,and at 5k/10k 1250A, only have 13BBs and and M of 6.

Its a snap call right? Well i did:

stan4stl: raises 185501 to 218834 and is all-in
Podiman: calls 138927 and is all-in
Uncalled bet (46574) returned to stan4stl
