Am I forced to call here or do I hope for a better hand later?

Ok here were my thoughts:

I was REALLY short stacked. I'm big blind so I have 150 in the pot and next hand, I'll have 355 chips.

If I call and win, I could accumulate 1235 chips. I don't call, I'm down to 355 chips because of the blind situation. I think my cards are live here. At best, he has a smaller PP and I'm a coin flip. Realistically, he has either 1 or 2 overs. Am I priced to call here? If so, what else would you call with?

call
gammy is bullying with big stack
u will have too few chips after this hand, so no fe anyway in the future
if u fold here, u'll need to double up just to be back where u are...twice to get where u would if u double up here...

I won't say you are wrong to either call or fold (probably a close fold, but it doesn't really matter enough.)

However, 'big stack is bullying' is pretty dumb, because at the 22's it implies that a)he knows what bullying is and b)that he will actually do it, as opposed to just raising extra big with aces so he doesn't get sucked out on.

Assuming their motivations are the same as yours at these limits is a big mistake.

That's a good point.

It would be nice to have some kind of read here. They have clearly been somewhat active, so you gotta know something.

Eric?
