View Full Version : What are your calling standards in this situation?
Here's the situation. Very early (level one or two) in a low buy in tourney (10+1), and you are in the big blind. This is a t1500 chip structure online with fairly standard blind increments, and you have no reads. UTG pushes. What are your calling standards for this overbet?
(I realize there was a cardplayer article similar to this recently, but I think my situation is different due to the online, low-buy in factor).

in a $10 tournament I'm calling with JJ+, AK
I call with 10's on up. I fold AK though because its not worth the risk of getting busted by low pocket pair.

No way I'm folding AK. You don't know villain has a pair and your a huge favorite over any non-paired hand. Easy call.
