If I read this correctly then you are basically calling his bet and pot odds say no.

But I don't know if that means it is wrong.

I would have pushed preflop, depending on reads.

[zac777]

If he has a better heart, you only have 6 clean outs, plus 4 discounted outs. If he doesn't have a heart, you're still a small underdog. Getting 2-1 you might be +chipEV depending on your read, but I'd rather fold and go up against the other small stack next hand.

[the_joker]

Sure, why not, you're almost dead anyway.

[Freudian]

It's not like you have any option. Call and hope for the best. If you are lucky you are drawing to the flush also.

Of course its wrong, if he just has a pair and no heart, I'm the favorite

[Dan Rutter]

When I first read it and did not see you had a heart in your hand I thought it might be slightly wrong, but after I realized you had the heart I liked it. You played it right.

[tech]

I don't see how you can even consider folding this.

[FlyWf]

If you aren't going to call there you should've folded preflop(if the site allows folding when you are allowed to check), because openended straight and flush draw is about the best you can hope for with that hand. The other guy plays it the same way no matter what two cards he has postflop.

There comes a point in some SNGs where all your options are -EV. This is one of those spots. Here, he risks calling without sufficient pot odds, or he takes a 50/50 shot with whatever he gets dealt next hand (might be worse than 50/50 if someone else comes into the pot).

Tough decision... I might give him ONE last chance to change his mind by calling then pushing on the turn. *shrug*

[Jason Strasser]

If there is a small chance your opponent folds preflop then push.

I am not really sure whether this call was +EV or not, but I figured that this situation would most likely never come up again so I might as well see what happens with this joke of a hand.

[Jay36489]

I like it. Like someone already said, you're almost dead anyway. Take a shot at first and no big deal if you bust out in third.

[ChuckNorris]

Right on. Players at 50+5's absolutely love limp-or-complete-then-folding. He needs a good read to not push preflop.
