RIght Call?

[cleinen]

Button says AJ before pushing. Still correct to call?

Well, you are short stacked, your stack is less than 4x the BB, so I would call. 3 Handed your not really fearing a big pocket pair, and if he says AJ and means it your getting a coinflip to double up or take 3rd place money. I'd take the risk. If he indeed had AJ you just took a bad beat with the straight on the river. Take your 3rd place dough and start another tournament.

Yes. You will have very little FE after this hand. You are a small favorite against most hands he will have, and you're getting a nice bonus of a third of your stack from the BB who will fold 95% of his hands. there is very little chance for poker playing after this hand, you're just going to have to take your coinflip + overlay and hope.

Also, don't let chatboxing have too big an effect on your decisions, it's too hard to know how to interpret it.
