PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t2420)
UTG (t1645)
MP (t1745)
CO (t5610)
Hero (t2610)
SB (t970)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.


Table folds the HERO as the button.

Hero: raises 300 to 500
Shortie: raises 470 to 970 and is all-in
Dude_in_BB: calls 770

Hero: Figures to be a 3:1 dog to both players...and folds...

=========
Am I priced into OVER-calling?

Too weak of a hand to push into the shortie?

I woulda called the shortie (and not liked it)...but felt compelled to fold after the big blind called...

Read: The only hands the shortie would re-push with puts me as a 3:1 for sure...and BB....?

Easy call w/the huge overlay?
Easy fold as I probably have the third best hand?
Bad push?

Edit: I think I learned the main lesson here already...Don't price yourself into calling the shortie's all-in when you'll only be calling as a dog...right?
