small debate with friend

[curtains]

$215 sit and go and you have 97o in the SB. The blinds are 25-50 and you and the BB both have 800 in chips. You don't really know anything about the BB. What is your general play here?

Well, since I've played 0 $215 SNGs I'll give this a shot. I also assume that it has been folded up to your SB (although this won't impact my answer anyway).

I fold.

Yes it's been folded to my SB.

I have 1000 times as much experience at the $215s as Yugo, and I would fold. Therefore folding is correct, because 1000 times is a lot.

I'll show you 1000 times better the next time you jump on one of my tables! Biatch!

Seriously. If Ilya says it's a fold, then it must be a fold.

ilyas right, its a fold, no question. its an easy fold in any level in my opinion.

[curtains]

Well ok I say to fold so I guess I win this little informal poll.

(he likes to call)

[raptor517]

good that you win your friendly debate

(and your friend is very wrong to call)

[Jason Strasser]

calling is by far worse than anything else you can do. a much better argument can be made for raising than calling. I still vote fold, but I suppose if you had a tight enough BB a raise wit any 2 in this spot could be profitable.

[UMTerp]

I'm with strassa here.

And my vote is about 80/20 fold/raise.

I don't think that's true at all. I'll go all-in the majority of the time here (depending on the player in the BB) if the stacks are still 800-800 and the blinds are 75-150 or so.

[skipperbob]

You might want to check w/ Irieguy & Aleo; I don't think that 1000 trials constitutes a statiscally-relevant sample.
And, bye-the-way, you don't actually have 1000 x as much experience as Yugo; you have exactly the same amount of experience, repeated one thousand times /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[se2schul]

I just busted out my highschool math textbook, and it seems that 1000 X 0 = 0.

Can someone confirm this please?

On another note, even if the 9-7 were sooooted, I'd still fold like a cheap suit (and I have 10,000 times the 215 experience of Yugo).

[ilya]

1000 x 0 may = 0 but come on, man, give me a break! a 1000 is still a lot.

0 * 1000 = 0.. am i right?

[Daliman]

It's a fold. Call and raise are not terrible options, but why get involved with a drawing hand out of position at this early a level?

Scale of 1-10, fold is 8, call is 4, raise is 2.

I take that back, raise is a terrible option.

Perhaps I *could* become the Daliman of the $11s, /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Meh, that's just a pipe dream. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

fold and save your chips for later rounds.

I fold, but I might call 97s or something similar I don't feel like raising with in level 3.

[ZebraAss]

ALL-IN...BIG MONEY!

(fold, no reason to get involved)
