Instafold in the 33s?
 

33, Villain is a good aggressive blind stealer, but we haven't seen any of his cards.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

Button (t1410)
SB (t2085)
Hero (t1920)
UTG (t725)
MP (t1860)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1410 (All-In)</font>, SB folds, Hero ????

It's still an easy fold.

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

I sometimes spitecall with A9 and often have the best hand. But the chip standings need to be more in my favour to do it.

id say that 80% of the 33ers would instacall here. id also say that 80% of 33ers are losing players.

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

Yeah, pretty easy fold.

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

This is most likely me, my range of hands here are like 32o - J4s

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

hey spongey, can you explain to me why I should be sitting to the right of known pushers instead of the left? maybe this is stupid of me, but I'd rather know what your action is so that I can act on it.

bleh

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

I called with A9s in the exact same situation the other night.

I believe I was wrong to do so and I am not being results oriented.

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

his pushing range is really loose. AX K9 - 2s, broadway, pp, . wish i had my pokerstove but if thats his range i dont think its as clear of a fold

Re: Instafold in the 33s?
 

It is a call according to ICM, even if villain isn't stealing with every crappy A or pp. And if he is stealing with something like 25% of his hands it becomes a pretty clear call.

Winning would also put you in a pretty nice bubble situation. Not perfect though, since the short stack is on your left. But it seems like you should call, doesn't it? Without doing the calculations I would've probably advised to fold.
