Action to you....


My thinking is that i definitely have odds to call, but is it worth risking part of my chipstack?

I don't even consider calling an option here.

edit: Are you the BB or what? Is there no small blind? Because I made my last post thinking you were the SB. Because that 100 chip blind difference changes a lot.


2nd edit: if you're the bb and it closes action I will absolutely consider calling it, taking small edges in places like these is usually the difference between having a big stack and going for 1st with a defended blind, or playing for 3rd and getting pushed around. it does depend on who the other players are.

So you have to call t350 to win t850, or about 2.5:1. You have the odds to call against AKs. So, call.

Right, but I feel like there is a difference between having 1725 chips and 1425 chips at this point in the game.

Like what? You will have FE with both sized stacks. And people will be reluctant to steal against your blinds. I know that if I saw you fold this hand I would probably start pushing into your BB constantly.
