View Full Version : 50+5 SnG Shorthanded Question/ Situation


12-05-2005, 08:09 PM
This is my first post so please bare with me, I will try and be as concise and thorough as possible.

Bodog 50+5 Level 9 (400/880)
Pre Flop
SB 67 off suit $2100 (This is me)
BB ?? raises all in for an additional 960.00
Button folds to me but has 5500 and is a rock.

Basically I was left to call 960, into a 2800 pot, with an opportunity to take out the short stack who had been moving all in moderately often, say 1/4 hands since the bubble broke. My question is, should I have made the call or folded even though I would be letting the short stack back in the game. I had good pot odds, but 67 isn't a good heads up hand. I am aware this information is incomplete but I would appreciate some serious feedback, I am still learning forum notation. Ty.

What are the starting stacks?

I'd call with pretty much any two cards getting these kind of odds. So it is a supereasy call for me. Especially since he is all-in and can't pull no crazy stuff postflop.

Starting stacks were 1760 SB, 2500 BB (Me), and 5500. The pot odds were my rationale as well, do you agree it's ok to call with a seven high though, taking into account that such a high percentage of the prize pool is at risk when you are three handed?

I'd call in an instant with 32o here. You can't let shorty take a huge chunk of your stack uncontested.

I agree. Thanks for the feedback, any other input out there? Also, I did actually call and he had A 9 off, beat me with a pair...
