    Fold, you're almost certain to be flipping with you as the underdog. So not only are you a small underdog, you're really deep and don't need to take really marginal +EV spots, nevermind marginal -EV spots.

    Dunno what on earth PokerTrev was doing though... didn't think he played like that lol.

    I don't think POKERTREV makes this move with a premium which makes this a call for me.  Generally I prefer taking spots I perceive to be +ev early on while I don't have to worry about ICM.  If I bust I can get back to drinking.  I understand that alot of people don't think this way and maybe better players fold, but as a personal choice I would call.
