[Blindcurve]

This is late in a Step 3 tourney at Party. I'll post my play in a bit, but I curious what play some of you would make.

Please pardon: The hand converter is not recognizing Party today.

I call. It costs you 550 more. If he has a pair you are obviously a big dog. More than likely your shitty 73o is two live cards and you are only 60-40ish against. I call in a second.

Yeah, at this stage, it's a cheap call for you, and a chance to burst the bubble...if he happens to have something better, good for him. You're still in excellent shape.

Chances are, however, that he doesn't have much, and he's trying to steal outright (he doesn't have much to lose at this point). This is probably a coin flip...well worth it in your case here, IMHO.

I agree. Here's my play:

I got flamed so hard in game I thought I'd check my math and make sure I wasn't thinking in terms of results. Thanks for taking a look, folks.

You likely have 2 live cards, are getting 2:1 on your money, and losing here hardly cripples you, seems like a call is correct.
