$10+1 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
SB (t2825)
Hero (t796)
UTG (t610)
MP (t400)
Button (t3369)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t400 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero ???
If I fold, I'll have t646.
If I call and lose, I'll have t396.
If I call and win, I'll have t1271.
With 2 other small stacks, it would be difficult to fold my way into the money. So, it would seem that if I fold, I'm going to have to push before the blinds hit me again.
If I call and win I double up and if I fold, push a later hand and win, I'll also double up. The difference is that if I call and lose now, I still have t396 left, but if I push and lose later, I'll be eliminated.
So, do you call with a weak hand now or hope to push a strong hand later?
