I was planning to just fold to any bet here, but suddenly with two all ins, the pot odds looked pretty good. Was it a mistake to call here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t825)
BB (t1670)
UTG (t2310)
Hero (t665)
CO (t985)
Button (t1545)

Preflop: Hero is MP with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t150, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t600) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t1470 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t465 (All-In), SB calls t125 (All-In).

Turn: (t3160) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 3 all-in)</font>

River: (t3160) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 3 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t3160

i think this is a no-brainer call...you have the odds, you will only have about 400 chips left if you fold and you'll need a miracle to make the money. Right now you have a 3 to one chance of tripling up with an OESD and 2 cards to come...it's not going to get any better than this.

I call the flop, but you can't minraise with 7x BB preflop. You need to push/fold that hand, and anything else is horrible.

I lean toward pushing, though I don't think folding is bad either.

Too true. But I've been going through a long streak where every Kx push gets called by Ax or total cheese. Hence the thought that a minraise (which I HATE) would get more respect than the all-in.

It was a close decision. I did not want to fold and several sets of blinds had been stolen by minraises. Thanks for the input.

You have under 10xbb just push preflop or fold. I'd just push it.

Min-betting is reserved for donks sir.
