The re-raise is too large to normally mean a hand that is beating QQ so realistically the worst case (and most probable) scenario is that you are up against AK.

You have to assume that if you shove your opponent is not folding unless he is on an absolute bluff and also cant count very well.

It is also very dependant on your perception of the player. If you know them to be a good player (and you know they know you are a good player) then i would mostly fold.

In fact i think i would probably fold unless i had a resonable belief that the specific player in question was prone to making similar moves with sub-standard hands.

It is also important to consider the over all quality of your opponents, if you generally believe that you are one of the better players in the game (if you dont you should not be sat there) then probably flipping for your stack at level one is not optimal.

As the end game of most STT involve fold or shove the increase in your over all position by doubling up here does not, imo, justify the risk of losing a probable flip.

Added to that i am naturally a tight rock like player i like to fold.
